Hi My Seven Year Old Granddaughter Has Been Complaining Of

Hi my seven year old granddaughter has been complaining of server pain in her lower back and hips today, the pain she is describing sounds like the pain I suffer with my sciatica, could this be what she has got ? I have suffered with what I was told was growing pains since I was two years old, my granddaughter has also suffered from pains in her legs since she was about the same age, could sciatica be inherited?
