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.

This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.
