I just had my 1st laser hair removal session for full leg & everything went well (little discomfort/pain during session) afterwards a little redness that went away, but next day I got this sciatic nerv pain shooting up both legs & it's still continuing, unsure if it's just a coincidence on the timing or it is some how related...please help

Answer: Sciatic pain after LHR to legs This is completely unrelated. The laser goes very superficial and can't cause this. It is possible that the positioning did this but unlikely.

Answer: Leg pain after laser hair removal It is unlikely that the pain you are having in your legs is related to your laser hair removal. Also, the pain you are experiencing is not typical of Sciatica as that pain normally shoots down the leg, rather than up the leg. Sciatica also generally presents unilaterally (affects one leg -- rather than both). I am not sure what is causing your leg pain, but if it continues to persist beyond a few days I would recommend evaluation by your primary care provider.
