Sciatica: there may be several problems including inflammation in the sacroiliac joint, inflammation from a damaged disc effecting the nerve roots or entrapment intermittently from the piriformis muscle. to better evaluate this you should seek out a provider board certified in pain management.

Irritation of the: sciatic nerve causes the pain. It begins from nerve roots in the lumbar spinal cord in the low back and extends through the buttock area to send nerve endings down the lower limb.
