Sciatica causes pain that begins in the lower back and spreads through the buttock, leg, calf and, occasionally, the foot. The pain generally will feel dull, aching or burning. Sometimes, it starts gradually, worsens during the night, and is aggravated by motion. Sciatica also can cause tingling, numbness or muscle weakness in the affected leg.
A callus (or callosity) is a toughened area of skin which has become relatively thick and hard in response to repeated friction, pressure, or other irritation.Rubbing that is too frequent or forceful will cause blisters rather than allow calluses to form.oo much friction occurring too fast for the skin to develop a protective callus will cause a blister or abrasion instead. Biologically, calluses are formed by the accumulation of terminally undifferentiated keratinocytes in the outermost layer of skin.
Noun. 1. callus-an area of skin that is thick or hard from continual pressure or friction (as the sole of the foot). callosity. hardening-abnormal hardening or thickening of tissue. clavus, corn-a hard thickening of the skin (especially on the top or sides of the toes) caused by the pressure of ill-fitting shoes.
