Sciatic nerves go from your lower back into your legs. When something presses on them, like a slipped disk or a bone spur, you get sciatica. How to find relief:

No, the pain isn't"all in your head," but your emotions can play a role. Stress causes your muscles to tense up and also makes the pain seem worse. Biofeedback, which shows you how your thinking and behavior affects your breathing and heart rate, might offer some relief. You could also try cognitive behavioral therapy. You'll work with a mental health expert who will help you change your behaviors and thoughts.Usually sciatica is painful but not dangerous.

But there are times you'll want to call your doctor right away. Get in touch with them if you have a fever, blood in your urine, trouble controlling your bowels or bladder, or pain that's so bad it wakes you up at night.Most people with sciatica don't need surgery. But your doctor may suggest it if you have trouble walking, lose control of your bladder or bowels, or your pain gets worse and other treatments don't help.
