Sciatica: It sounds like there is pressure on your sciatic nerve, that comes from the spinal column, passes through the bones of the spine, then under a muscle in the buttocks. Even tho u feel the pain in your leg, massage to the back and buttocks, rest and hot or cold packs should help. Also ibruprofen, and sometimes pain meds or muscle relaxants if pain severe. See your family doc for help.
