In brief: Yes
It can go anywhere in the leg and foot since the nerve travels from the low back all the way into the toes.

In brief: Yes it can...
The roots of the sciatic nerve stem of the l4/l5 from the lumbar region of the spine.
Those same roots in addition to s1 make up the roots that run into the foot, ankle and leg.
