For a pinched nerve causing pain from the buttocks down the leg to the ankle, it's important to rest and avoid activities that exacerbate the pain. Applying ice or heat to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and alleviate discomfort. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment options is recommended.

How do you detect a pinched nerve?
Only if the nerve being pinched is being caused by a herniated disk, or other problem which is visible via the scan. However, CT scan with dye (Myelogram) tends to be more effective at showing up problems. In many cases you really don't need a scan, as the nerve path being irritated can tell you which nerve is being pinched. From there, if you can trace it back to the problem origin, you can determine what's causing it if you've had an injury. Even exercising without proper stretching can cause a pinched nerve. A pinched nerve is easy enough to identify - it feels like being stabbed with a heavy gage needle. In those cases where the nerve is being severely pinched (such as a disk herniation) you can literally feel the pain down the entire nerve path. This is why sciatic nerve pinches from a disk herniation can be felt down the back of the legs - that's the nerve pathway. If it doesn't get better or go away after a few days, then there's cause to get it looked at, or if the pain is severe enough that it interferes with daily activity. Most aren't that bad, and can be caused by simply sitting or sleeping in a bad position, even bad posture.
What does a pinched nerve feel like and what are the common symptoms associated with it?

Feel muscular pain from waist down buttocks legs into feet what could it be?
Pain that travels from the waist down the legs to the feet is often caused by a pinched sciatic nerve. If the pain is quite severe and ongoing, travels down one leg (not both) and is relieved by walking rather than sitting or standing, sciatica is probably the cause. There may also be an underlying issue with a herniated disc.
