Podcast: Sciatica isn’t just back pain (LOVE 972 最爱粉tastic)

Sciatica is often misunderstood as simple lower back pain. In reality, it is a nerve related condition that can cause pain, tingling, or numbness radiating from the lower back down the leg. Because the symptoms overlap with common back issues, many people delay seeking proper care.

In this radio interview on LOVE 97.2, Senior Consultant Pain Specialist Dr. Bernard Lee from Singapore Paincare Center shares expert insights on why sciatica happens and how to manage the leg pain that can disrupt daily life.

In this episode, Dr. Lee explains:

• Common risk factors for sciatica, including spinal changes, posture habits, and everyday activities
• Why sciatica pain often radiates from the lower back down the leg
• Key warning signs that suggest your pain may be caused by nerve compression
• Practical pain management approaches and when to seek medical treatment to prevent long term issues
