John Rhys-Davies

Indiana Jones' wasn't physically tough, but they are the only two films I've ever been ill on. On 'The Last Crusade,' I got sciatica. That's when the sciatic nerve, which goes through the funny hole in your pelvis down your leg, swells and rubs against the nerves.

Welsh Actor

Sandra Cisneros

In the business world, I did fairly well, but wasn't happy. A bout of sciatica put me flat on my back. All I could do was read, listen to my mother's stories about the Sandovals, and daydream: a return to self. My writing career had begun.

American Author

Nadya Suleman

Four out of the five discs in my lumbar spine are ruptured, herniated fully. Think of a jelly doughnut being squashed, and it hits nerves, causing bilateral sciatica. And I have irreparable sacral damage. And I have peripheral neuropathy.

American Celebrity

Tamzin Outhwaite

I did suffer from sciatica, which was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced. Lots of women love being pregnant and say they feel really womanly, but I felt really ungraceful and struggled a bit with that!

English Actress

Chad Stahelski

Production wants a miracle on every movie. They want us to do something new and amazing - but then they give you a 55-year-old actor with sciatica who doesn't want to train.

American Actor

Thomas Beecham

Movie music is noise... even more painful than my sciatica.

English Composer

Use 'sciatica' primarily in medical or health-related discussions to describe specific lower back pain.

Medical Context

'Sciatica' refers to a condition, not a disease, so it's not something you can catch from others.

Not Contagious

'Sciatica' implies severe pain which may limit someone's mobility, not just mild discomfort.

Serious Pain
