The sciatic nerve causes a back pain, which is called as sciatica. This nerve is large and runs from lower back to the back of each leg. Injury or pressure on the sciatic nerve can cause pain in the lower back that extends to hip, butt, and legs. Recovery happens without surgery in 90% of the cases.
