Hello Melissa6666,

I have absolutely no idea. No one, with or without sciatica, feels the surface of the stomach. Secondly, I do not know what your naturopathic doctor is suggesting.

Sciatica is not a medical condition but a symptom of another medical problem. It refers to pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the leg. Sciatica is caused by injury to or pressure on the sciatic nerve.

Electromyography or EMG is a test that checks the health of the muscles and the nerves that control the muscles. Your neurologist is ordering this test because of your symptoms of sciatica. EMG is most often used when a person has symptoms of weakness and examination shows impaired muscle strength. He probably wants to identify the cause of pressure on your sciatic nerve.

I do not think your loss of appetite is related to sciatica. Nor is the pain in your stomach the result of pressure or injury to the sciatic nerve.

Regards,
Maryann
