Jul31	Making Sense of Sciatica on Beliefnet.com Amy Vedova-Phillips July 31, 2006 Know More: Health & Wellness, Marketing to Women 2.0, Health & Wellness Beliefnet.com published an informative article on Sciatica, the longest and largest nerve in the body, that causes painful problems for many people.

It can affect anyone at any age, and sciatica tends to be more common in men over 40. This statistic is strange to me because I know several women who are currently suffering from this condition.
