Diwhite3324; Sciatica is often referred to
as any type of leg pain, but in fact there
are many causes of leg pain that are not
classified as sciatica and need to be
treated differently. Sciatica occurs when
the sciatic nerve is irritated or
compressed by a problem in the low back,
thus sending pain from the sciatic nerve
down to the buttock and sometimes down the
back of the leg. However, many other
problems can also cause pain down the leg.
So to answer your question, "can it cause
pain in the heel", yes. But I suspect it's
something else. Sciatic pain usually
starts in the buttocks and radiates down
the back of the leg. The pain is not
usually located in one small area ( the
heel). I have had bone spurs in my heel
and they can be quite painful. And are
quite common. I hope this helps.

If your pelvis is not working correctly
and you have changed your walking, yes it
can cause heel pain.
