[|Human|] Hi, I have been having severe lower back pain with a buring sensation. If I press on my lower back or seat or stand  up straight my toes begin to tingle and go numb. It is very painful to have a bowel movement due to the pain in my lower back and my toes go numb instantly. What could be making this happen?
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for posting. Your symptoms might be related to Sciatic neuritis. Sciatic neuritis is the inflammation of the sciatic nerve, that is caused by pressure of tissues that are located around sciatic nerve. The most common causes of Sciatic nerve are column vertebrae arthritis and herniated disc. The diagnosis is determined by the following tests:1. Column vertebrae Ct-scan(Lumbar Ct-scan).2. Complete blood count.3. Urine test. You also need a physical examination by your neurologist. If sciatic neuritis is caused by arthritis, the treatment contain anti-inflammatory non-steroidal medicines. If sciatic neuritis is caused by herniated disc, then surgical procedure is needed. Contact your neurologist. I hope this information is helpful. I wish you a fast and healthy recovery.
