Can the sciatic nerve cause knee pain?
The sciatic nerve starts in the lower back, travels down the back of the leg, and ends at the knee where it branches into the tibial and common peroneal nerves. A person may experience sciatica anywhere along the sciatic nerve, including the knee. Therefore, sciatica may be a cause of knee pain.
What part of your knee hurts with sciatica?
Common knee symptoms that you may experience when you have sciatica include: A warm sensation, sharp pain, or dull ache in the front, side, and/or back of the knee.
How should I sleep with sciatica knee pain?
It’s more comfortable to lie on the pain-free side with the sciatic side on the top. The knees should be bent with a pillow placed between them to support the spine and pelvis. If there is a gap between the waist and the mattress, place a small pillow there. A pillow may be needed for arm support as well.
