| Sciatica |
| Sciatica is an inflammation of the supporting tissues of the sciatic nerve. It is usually felt in the top center of the buttock, through which a fiery pain shoots and continues on down the back of thigh and towards the ankle. Any sudden movement or any attempt to bend increase the pain. A number of conditions may make people more susceptible to sciatica. A herniated disc, usually termed as slipped disk, is the most common cause of severe sciatica.
