A member asked:
Is it possible that sciatic nerve cause the same pain in my hand that it cause on my butt and leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The sciatic nerve provides sensation and strength to the leg, not to the hand. It would be impossible for the sciatic nerve to affect your hand. Your hand pain is due to something else.
