Sciatica facts. 1  Sciatica is nerve pain from irritation of the sciatic nerve. 2  The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. 3  Sciatica pain is typically felt from the low back to behind the thigh and radiating down below the knee. 4  Treatments for sciatica depend on the underlying cause and the severity of the pain.
This is often the case when sciatica is due to a herniated disc or bulging disc. If the cause is in the lumbar spine, the sciatica - or leg pain - is often accompanied by back pain. Some patients also experience sciatica pain affecting all the dermatomes in the sciatic nerve, L4, L5 and S1. This sort of pan-sciatic syndrome may be due to piriformis muscle syndrome.
