Your healthcare provider will review your medical history first. You'll then be asked about your symptoms. Your healthcare provider will ask you to walk so that they can see how your spine carries your weight. To test your calf muscles, you might be asked to walk on your toes and heels.

Also, your provider might do a straight leg raise test. This test involves lying on your back with your legs straight. Your provider will slowly raise each leg and note where the pain starts. This test helps pinpoint the nerves that are affected and determines whether a disk is damaged.

You'll also be asked to do stretches and motions to pinpoint pain and check muscle strength and flexibility. Your healthcare provider might recommend imaging or other tests based on your physical exam.

You can get sciatica pain almost anywhere along the nerve pathway. You're more likely to get it around the low back, buttock, back of thigh, and calf.

It can range from a mild ache to a sharp, burning pain. There are times when it feels like an electric shock or a jolt. Sneezing, coughing, or sitting for a long time can aggravate it. Sciatica mostly affects one side of the body.

There may also be numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in the leg or foot. You can feel pain in one part of your leg and numbness in another.

You can get effective and safe sciatica pain management at Gramercy Pain Center. Get in touch with us today.

Sciatica is a type of pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve. A sciatic nerve runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks to each leg.

The most common cause of sciatica is herniated discs or overgrowth of bones pressing on nerve roots. As a result, the affected leg becomes inflamed, painful, and numb. Despite sciatica's severe pain, most cases clear up with treatment in a few weeks.

Leave your pain problems to professionals who can definitely help improve your condition so you don't have to suffer through sciatica pain. Call us today to find out more about sciatica.

The major types of arthritis that affect the knee are:

- Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative, "wear-and-tear" type of arthritis. As osteoarthritis progresses, the cartilage in the knee joint deteriorates. Eventually, the cartilage becomes frayed and rough, and the space between the bones decreases.
- Rheumatoid arthritis attacks multiple joints throughout the body, including the knee joint. As a symmetrical condition, it affects the same joint on both sides of the body. Rheumatoid arthritis causes swelling of the synovial membrane that covers the knee joint. In turn, this causes knee pain and stiffness.
- Posttraumatic arthritis develops after a knee injury. Broken bones, for instance, may damage the joint surface over time and cause arthritis. An injured meniscus or ligament can cause instability and additional wear on the knee joint, resulting in arthritis over time.

A knee injury can negatively affect your quality of life. Fortunately, treatments can lessen the severity of your symptoms. Talk to one of our knee arthritis specialists at Gramercy Pain Center about your treatment options. Don't hesitate to contact us.

It is unknown what causes cluster headaches, but cluster headache patterns have been linked to abnormalities in the body's biological clock.

Cluster headaches are a type of trigeminal cephalgia and involve the hypothalamus, a brain structure that controls the autonomic nervous system. Symptoms include severe side-locked pain around and in the eyes.
