Pain radiating down the back of the leg into the calf and possibly the foot may be referring from your lumbar spine (lower back). Pressure on the sciatic nerve where it leaves the spine can cause this pain. You can have sciatica without back pain, and the further the pain spreads down your leg the worse the condition is.
