Although answer choice a. Peripheral neuropathy is probably the best answer, the term "neuritis" is also often used interchangeably with "neuropathy." In fact, sciatic neuritis is considered a synonym of sciatica, so that answer choice c. neuritis may also be considered valid. Paresthesia (numbness, tingling, "pins and needles" sensation) is a common symptom of sciatica.
