Sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body which starts from your lower back all the way down to your foot. Sciatica is common condition where people self-diagnose. Sciatic pain starts from the lower back and radiates into the buttock, below the knee and into your foot. Common cause of sciatica is from a lumbar disc bulge, herniation or tight gluteus and piriformis muscle.
