Can Failed Tooth Extraction Cause Sciatica?

Hi, I went to have a tooth removed , dentist tried to pull it out but it hurt to much she said it may be infected and put me on antibiotics I have to go back in a few days to have it removed, later that day I started to get sciatica down my leg , it's got worse and I'm in great pain with it , could this be related to the tooth, thanks

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

No, Sciatica is not related to your tooth extraction and it is altogether a different condition..
It can be coincidence that both happened to occur at the same time..
So it is advisable to consult your treating Physician and get evaluated for Sciatica and get appropriate medication..
Once you are done with the antibiotics you should consult an Oral Surgeon and get your tooth extracted..

Hope your query is resolved..

Regards..
