A recent MRI scan has identified a bulge in my lower two vertebrae which my doctor has told me, over the phone, explains the pain in my buttock and leg. I'm seeing him on Wednesday to discuss in full but I'm concerned that I have no pain in my thigh and the calf pain is not at the back of my muscle but to the side--can this still be a sciatic nerve problem?

Thanks for your reply---that's exactly like mine. Has your Dr confirmed it is a sciatica pain?

Thanks Jessica--as you say, we are all different. I'll learn more about my problem when I see my doctor tomorrow. Hopefully, he'll be able to understand the MRI scan, as I was given a copy when it was done and it means nothing to me!!

because nerves which control our total body are controoled from various areas of the spine, it causes pains in different parts of the body.
I had bulging disc in t10-11(middle back) and my pain was thighs and numb right toe- due to nerve compression caused by bulging disc controlling these nerves.
I have since had operation and while these nerve are permenately damaged (still burning sensation in thighs and numbness in toe) my mobility is fantastic but I have forced to keep myself fit and not on any medication.
Sounds like you have nerve compression in lower parts affecting the sensations in your lower legs.
