What are symptoms of sciatica?

Answer by  farmingdale (13)

Sciatica can start with a vague pain in either hip. It is usually experienced on one side of the body or the other but can be present on both sides at the same time. The hip pain will radiate to the buttock and cause shooting pains down the leg. The pain feels like a hot stabbing sensation.
