While the actual condition of sciatica pain is associated with a nerve tissue arising from the depths of the spinal column, it is the muscles lower down the body that feel the grunt of the problem. Because of an aggravated nerve tissue in the buttocks region, the ensuing muscles connected with that nerve experience throbbing pain symptoms that simply come and go. Such a condition requires immediate sciatica treatment even before a doctor has confirmed the presence of sciatica and found out its cause.
Unfortunately, until the good doctor does not give a diagnosis there is no medical treatment that you can start on other than taking some high dosage pain killers however, these are temporary solutions. One permanent measure is the use of exercise for the lower limbs that take care of the pain and reduce the aggravation. The hamstring has been seen as the major problem area during sciatica pain symptoms and a stretched hamstring can worsen it hence exercising this portion regularly helps reduce the pain.
