Adele suffers from sciatica. What is it, here's all you need to know about the condition

At one of her recent shows on New Year’s Eve, English singer-songwriter Adele disclosed that she is battling sciatica.

Adele talked to the audience and revealed that she is suffering from the condition while walking from one end of the stage to another when she was hosting a show on New Year’s Eve (December 31, 2022) at The Colosseum.

During the concert, the 34-year-old singer, while firing T-shirts towards the crowd with the help of a handheld cannon, said that she has just got to get over to the other side of the stage and she has to wobble for it these days due to sciatica. It seems to have been causing pain in her lower back.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica happens when pain travels along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back via the buttocks and hips to each leg.

The pain in the sciatic nerve can be severe, but it can be fixed in a matter of weeks. It generally occurs when an overgrowth of bone or a herniated disk in the spine puts pressure on the nerve. It leads to pain, inflammation and numbness in the affected leg.



In some rare cases, a tumor can also put pressure on the nerve. Conditions like diabetes can also damage the nerve leading to the issue.

Adele has talked about her health problems earlier as well. In November 2021, while speaking to a magazine, she spoke about how her life has changed after weight loss.

English singer-songwriter added that she is certainly happy now because she is "more agile" and can move about more now that she has lost weight. Adele then discussed her long-standing back problems.
