Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

I don't know what "calc" means. Could you clarify this?

You may have sciatica - sciatica is a term used to describe the symptoms of leg pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that travel down the low back via the sciatic nerve in the back of the leg. Sciatica (sometimes known as radiculopathy) is a description of symptoms, not a diagnosis. A herniated disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis can all cause sciatica. Your doctor can diagnose this.
Best,
Susan
