Can you have sciatica pain in the front of your leg?
The short answer is No (although you may have pain on the front side of your thigh from the "femoral or subcutaneous femoral nerve" (or othter spinal nerves). You may also feel "referred" pain, in the lower front portion of your leg from another spinal nerve (such as L3-4). The longer answer simply involves knowing where the sciatic nerve runs. Taken from another answer : The sciatic nerve is the largest and longest nerve in the body. About the thickness of a person's thumb, it spans from the lower back to the foot. The nerve originates in the lower part of the spinal cord, the so-called lumbar region. As it branches off from the spinal cord, it passes between the bony vertebrae (the component bones of the spine) and runs through the pelvic girdle, or hip bones. The nerve passes through the hip joint and continues down the B A C K of the leg to the foot.
