Do you have pain that starts in your lower back and then shoots down your buttock or leg? All of this pain and discomfort could be caused by the longest nerve in your body.
Your sciatic nerve runs from your spinal cord to your buttock and hip and then down your leg and foot. It controls many muscles in your lower legs and provides feeling to the thighs, legs and feet.
Back pain called sciatica is often caused by a compressed or irritated nerve root from a herniated disk in the spine. The shock-absorbing disks in your spinal cord experience wear and tear due to age, heavy lifting, improper posture, accidents or diabetes. Whatever the reason, it is painful.
