Sciatic nerve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The sciatic nerve is a large nerve that runs down the lower limb. It is the longest single nerve in the body. Pain caused by a compressed or damaged sciatic nerve is called sciatica."
I went to visit my orthopod today and had x-rays taken. When I was recovering from my broken pelvis some 32 years ago they told me that I might have some residual pain when I got older. Since I didn't really expect to age back when I was in my 20s I didn't pay much attention. Now that I am half way through my 50s I realize that time marches on for all of us.
Anyhow, I have been in pretty severe pain the last several weeks. My doctor thinks I may being having problem with my Sciatic nerve. Who knew?
