My family, with the surname Solana, arrived only 7 years prior to the Mayflower, but married into a family, the Peres, that was well established by that time. Solana is the oldest European name to have been continuously documented in this country.
The sciatic nerve is one of the longest nerves in the human body. At its thickest point, it can measure the width of a thumb. This nerve starts at the back's lumbar region and continues all the way down the back of the legs, ending at the toes. The sciatic nerve is made up of two different branches, one branch for each side of the spine. The nerve has root endings at several places in the spine, which include two endings in the bottom two vertebrae in the lumbar spine.
The sciatic nerve is formed by the nerve roots coming out of the spinal cord into the lower back. It goes down through the buttock, then its branches extend down the back of the leg to the ankle and foot. What causes sciatica? The most common cause of sciatica is a bulging or ruptured disc (herniated disc) in the spine pressing against the nerve roots that lead to the sciatic nerve.
