Pain from low back: Sciatica describes nerve pain that originates from the low back or buttocks area. It may extend down the leg. Causes include a low back strain or muscles spasming around the nerve as it travels down the lower extremity. The distribution of the pain often helps tell where the source of the nerve injury is occurring.
