If you have problems with holding or emptying your bladder or bowels, pelvic or sexual pain, urinary or stool leakage, or vaginal bulge like something is coming out of your vagina, then you should talk to your doctor about a referral to a urogynecologist with FPMRS certification.
The Sciatic Nerve. The sciatic nerve actually originates from several nerve ârootsâ along the spine collectively known as the lumbosacral plexus. This means it is made up of several spinal nerves whose roots come out from the spine from L4 through S3.
About the Sciatic Nerve in the Low Back. The sciatic nerve starts in your low back, which is called your lumbar spine. The nerve roots are at the L4 and L5 vertebrae (the 'L' means lumbar, and the numbers indicate the level of the vertebraâwhere it is in your back). The sciatic nerve also travels through your pelvic region (sacrum). In most people, the sciatic nerve runs under the piriformis muscle, which moves your thigh side to side. From there, the sciatic nerve descends through the buttocks and the back of the thighs. Behind your knee, smaller nerves branch out from the sciatic nerve and travel down to your feet. Your sciatic nerve is part of a complex structure: your body's nervous system. That system is responsible for transmitting pain and sensation to other parts of your body.
