If you have pain radiating down your lower back and legs, you may be suffering from sciatica. Sciatica is a condition where the sciatic nerve—which runs down your lower back to your buttocks and legs—becomes compressed and irritated. Besides pain, sciatica can cause muscle weakness and numbness. You'll want to consult with your doctor to get a diagnosis if you suspect that you have sciatica. He or she can also discuss treatment options.
