Sciatica or Muscle Strain

Muscle strain is often complained about or experienced by the people. Those with pain start from the back when they lift heavy weights  or after doing vigorous exercises. But sometimes disks on vertebra bulges or breaks, it can push on a nerve causing severe pain by pushing on nerve roots. If it gives pressure on the sciatic nerve, pain runs from the buttock down one leg. The longest and thickest nerve in the human body is up to 2 centimeters wide.

This is called sciatica. In addition to this pain, some patients may experience tingling or numbness in the back or butt that may also radiate down your leg. Sometimes severe symptoms are also possible.
