According to Wikipedia Sciatica is a set of symptoms including pain that may be caused by general compression and/or irritation of one of five nerve roots that give rise to the sciatic nerve, or by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve itself. When these nerves are “pinched the pain can radiate from your lower back and buttock all the way down your leg to your feet.

This was accompanied by pain; which believe me can be can be excruciating. There are several causes: herniated disc, spinal stenosis, lifestyle, piriformis, trigger points and pregnancy.
