Sciatica
If pain shoots down from your lower back, through your bottom, & into your leg (usually on one side of your body), the culprit may be your sciatic nerve. A herniated disk, bone spur, or some other spine problem can put pressure on it. Hot packs, cold packs, stretching, & painkillers can help you feel better, but you may need a doctor to help you fix the cause, and get back to mobility.
