Hitting a Sciatic: Hitting a sciatic nerve will cause pain in most individuals. This is usually caused by prolonged sitting or compression from a bulging lumbar spinal disk. Trauma is less common, as the nerve is deep to the buttock.

Yes: Any trauma that compresses the sciatic nerve, either directly or by causing bone fragments to do so, can cause sciatica. Examples include motor vehicle accidents, falling down, football and other sports.
