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.
Sciatic nerve. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body. Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compresses part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.
