“Sciatica is very painful, very painful! I don’t wish it on anyone,” he said about the condition, which starts in the lower back and can cause pain running down the back of the thigh and leg to the foot.Pope Francis was also forced to cancel three more public appearances at the end of January due to sciatic nerve pain.According to the Vatican, Francis underwent surgery to relieve stricture of the colon caused by diverticulitis.
On the return flight on April 3, he told journalists that “my health is a bit fickle, I have this knee problem that brings out problems with walking.” Pope Francis also started to remain seated in the popemobile while greeting pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square.The pope said at the beginning of May that he would undergo a medical procedure on his knee, “an intervention with infiltrations,” by which he may have meant a therapeutic injection, sometimes used to relieve knee pain caused by ligament tears.
