| | What you need to know about sciatica |
| | Depending on where the sciatic nerve is affected, the pain may also radiate to the foot or toes. | | | True sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is pinched or irritated and the pain along the sciatic nerve is caused by this nerve (radicular pain). | | | This surgery is designed to help relieve both the pressure and inflammation and may be warranted if the sciatic nerve pain is severe and has not been relieved with appropriate manual or medical treatments. |

| | Sciatica and the sciatic nerve |
| | The sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in the human body; it runs from each side of the lower spine through deep in the rear and back of the thigh, and all the way down to foot, connecting the spinal cord with the leg and foot muscles. | | | The nerve originates in the lower spine as nerve roots exit the spinal cord (through the bones in the spine), and extends all the way down the back of the leg to the toes. | | | Sciatica is one of the most common forms of pain caused by compression of the spinal nerves, and the leg pain often feels much worse than the back pain. |

| | This symptom pattern tends to lead to the question of whether the whole sciatic nerve is being pinched somewhere along its course from the sacrum to the knee rather than one of the spinal nerves that leads into it. | | | This condition is due to a muscle in the buttock that goes into spasm and pinches the sciatic nerve. | | | Sciatica is pain running down your leg in a pattern determined by the sciatic nerve. |

| | The term "sciatica" indicates that the sciatic nerve, which travels from the lower back through the buttocks and into the leg, is thought to be the cause of the pain in this condition. | | | If the patient experiences pain during these tests, an irritated sciatic nerve is likely to be a source of the pain. | | | The challenge for a physician is to distinguish between radicular pain, which is caused by an inflamed nerve root, and referred pain, which is a result of a musculoskeletal sprain or strain. |

| | Pinched Nerve |
| | The most typical pinched nerves are the median, ulnar and radial nerves, which extend down the arms from the shoulders to the hands. | | | Any pressure applied to a nerve by the surrounding tissue will produce irritation and will disrupt the nerve's functioning, with consequences that can range from aches and pains to a loss of feeling or weakening of muscles. | | | Nerves passing over a rigid prominence, such as a bone, are particularly vulnerable. |

| | As with other nerves in the vertebrate body, the sciatic nerve is comprised of the axons of hundreds of neurons. | | | Whatever the cause, sciatica is characterized by pain along the course of the sciatic nerve through the hip and down the back of the leg (can you suggest why the pain is felt in these parts of the leg?). | | | In most vertebrates, it's the major branch of the sacral plexus, a complex mass comprised of neurons that exit the spinal column via spinal nerves L4 through S4. |

| | This nerve (one for each side of the lower body) is the longest in the peripheral nervous system, extending through the buttocks and down as far as the foot. | | | Sciatica, characterized by pain radiating into one or both buttocks and descending the back of the leg, results from compression of the sciatic nerve at the base of the spine or compression of the spinal roots that contribute to the sciatic nerve. | | | Continuous pressure on the nerve, perhaps from a slipped vertebral disc or a fetus in the womb, can send a stream of pain messages along the length of the nerve; the intensity of the pain can range from mild to debilitating. |
