>yes: yes it's the most logical reason. You should consult with your family physician and have an x-ray or MRI to confirm any pathology in the lower back usually L5 S1

Sciatica.: What your are describing does not seem to be vein related and sounds more like neurologic symptoms. I would recommend that you see your PMD for an evaluation and referral to the appropriate specialist.

45y/o F. My sciatic nerve pain has increased over the past few years. When it flares up the varicose veins in my lower leg and foot bulge immensely and cause extreme pain. Is there a correlation between the two? I never get just sciatic nerve pain?
