    It’s a pinched nerve inside your butt check that causes pain down to your feet. The pain varies. Sometimes it’s butt all the way down. Sometimes it’s behind the knee down the calf. Sometimes the front of the leg.

    I still get anxiety over it even though I know I have sciatica. My anxiety tells me different, especially when my calf or leg feels tingly or weak. I would say this would be okay to google so you know. It’s a treatable condition.

    Yes! Mine is in my upper thighs, ruled out anything ovarian, pelvic, mass, and urinary but still had this for some time (doctor said this may be a nerve oddity but could never identify). Eventually it went away, but I had to treat it for some time like I would a glitched muscle which sucked.
