The sciatica nerve, the thickest and longest nerve in the human body, originates in the lower back and extends down to the knee. When this nerve is compressed, it can create pain that extends from your lower back down into your legs as well, and can become a big interruption in everyday life. Sciatica nerve pain is a key indicator of a larger problem. Depending on the underlying cause, a discectomy, laminectomy, or spinal fusion could be the solution to resolving it.
