Can you work standing up with sciatica?

Whether sciatica can stand to work needs to be decided according to the degree of sciatica, generally speaking, it is not recommended to stand to work when the pain is heavier, and the pain is lighter when you can stand to work appropriately, but should not be stood for a long time. If the patient’s symptoms are more serious, the pain is severe, like a pinprick, tearing pain, and accompanied by lower limb numbness, weakness, activity limitation and other symptoms. At this time, it is not recommended that the patient stand and work, it is recommended that the patient rest in bed. Sitting and standing for a long time can increase the pressure on the spine, which may aggravate lumbar spine lesions and further aggravate the patient’s symptoms. If the patient’s symptoms are mild, and pain occurs when walking with weight on the waist, sitting or standing for a long time, the patient can stand and work appropriately at this time, but it is not advisable to stand for a long time to avoid aggravating the symptoms. Sciatica patients are advised to consult the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations, according to the patient’s symptoms as well as the results of auxiliary examinations for further treatment programs.
