Sciatica or Piriformis Syndrome? 🤔
Both can cause pain, tingling, or numbness that travels down your leg—but the source is different.
💥 Sciatica usually starts in the lower back.
🍑 Piriformis syndrome happens when a muscle deep in the hip irritates the sciatic nerve.
The symptoms can feel almost identical, which is why getting the right diagnosis is so important.
