Can Pressure On The Sciatic Nerve Cause Numbness In The Lower Calf Muscles?
I have numbness in my inner lower calf beginning just above my ankle bone and continuing up my inner calf to about half way between my ankle bone and knee. it has been present about 2 weeks. Could this be due to pressure somewhere on my sciatic nerve?

Hi,
Yes this can happen due to compression of sciatic nerve.
Take over the counter pain killers.
It it persists beyond 4 weeks then get it evaluated by a physician.
It would need a good examination.
Hope it helps
