    If your pain is caused due to a pinched nerve, what you are experiencing is completely normal. My sciatic nerve is pinched between L4 & L5 and I experienced pain all the way down to the tip of my big toe on my right side. I had about 6 treatments with a Chiropractor lat year and now my pain is confined to the area between the lower back and the back of my knee.
