Sciatica is a painful condition caused by inflammation of the sciatic nerve.

It usually develops after a low back injury or strain.

Poor circulation is one cause of this condition. The poor circulation could be caused by serious conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or morbid obesity (or all three). Overuse of NSAIDs (Motrin, Aleve, aspirin, etc.) can cause very easy bruising. A reaction to statins can cause leg weakness and aching, especially in the great muscles of the leg.

What to do when a leg has gone to sleep and putting pressure on it hurts?

When your leg goes to sleep, a condition called paresthesia, it's because the blood circulation has been interrupted to your leg. What I usually do is reposition my body so that circulation is restored to my leg, then try not to move the leg as circulation is restored. Movement will cause pain and tingling during recovery from paresthesia, and it is not necessary to restore circulation (beyond moving to restore circulation).
