Pathology
The sciatic nerve is the main nerve of the lower limbs. It originates from the fourth and fifth lumbar nerve roots (L4, L5) and the first, second, and third sacral nerve roots (S1, S2, S3). It runs along the lower back, waist, buttocks and thighs, calf to foot. Sciatica is a very common symptom and can be caused by any pressure on the sciatic nerve, which can be in the lower back, waist, buttocks, etc. Sciatica mainly refers to pain in the lower limbs. Intervertebral disc herniation is the most common cause, because long-term wear and tear of the lumbar spine may cause the lumbar disc to herniate backward. In addition, the sciatic nerve may also be compressed in the lower limbs. For example, the piriformis muscle may also compress the sciatic nerve, causing pain in the buttocks and extending to the calves and feet.
