Lower back sciatica is quite painful and originates from your sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. The pain extends from your spine to your hip and posterior area and then down the rear of each leg. While not a separate condition itself, sciatica is symptomatic of yet another problem, such as a herniated disc or another cause. Although lower back sciatica may ease with time, it may not, and the discomfort is usually quite debilitating.

Lower Back Pain and Sciatica
April 11th, 2010 
Aneron Kepasil If you have lower back, hip or thigh pain it may be caused by sciatica. Sciatica is the name used for pain caused by your sciatic nerve. Your sciatic nerve runs from your spinal cord, to your buttocks and all the way down your legs to your feet. Your lower back pain can be caused by a herniated disk that is applying a constant pressure on your sciatic nerve. It can cause your muscles to have spasms, numbness, sharp stinging pain, and sometimes loss of movement of your legs. It can be quite painful if you suffer from any of the listed pains. Simple everyday tasks from walking to sitting can greatly alter the pain you feel.
