A member asked:
Could my quadratus muscle be aggravating my sciatic nerve? had discetomy 3 months ago. started ims and the quadratus causes a zing down my leg

Possibly: Possibly, though it would seem a little more likely that if you recently had back surgery for a herniated disc/ sciatica and now have recurrent sciatica, that it would be related to the surgical area. I would certainly let your surgeon know.
