Brief Answer:
No, not your sciatic nerve!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is not your sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is found from the waist downward and cannot be located there. Besides, it is not possible to palpate on a nerve with such ease as they are tiny, internally located and can rarely be felt.

I will say, let her massage and help with the pain. If it persists, then we will need to at least examine you to understand more. Should it go away after such massage, I will say be calm and don’t get worried.

I wish you well.
Further queries are most welcome.

Regards
