Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve is irritated or has too much pressure on it. This is your biggest nerve in your body and it runs from your lower back down through to your legs. You can get sciatica from being obese, from being pregnant, from getting older, and from many other things. You may have a tumor that's causing the pressure or, you may do frequent movements like bending and twisting your back. All of these can cause you a lot of pain that interrupts your life.
Being overweight or obese as well as getting older are all risk factors. If you are very sedentary and don't stand up much, sciatica can set in. Driving all day can also increase your risk. Although diabetes does not cause sciatica directly, it can cause sciatica like symptoms. In diabetics, the body's blood sugar gets used differently. This can lead to nerve damage, and that includes the sciatic nerve. If there are problems with your spine like herniated discs or bone spurs, this can also lead to sciatica.
