Broken Fibula - Again!

[RJNorton]

This is a real stretch, but it came to mind after I read Jonathan's post. Did Booth have a back problem at an early age? Well, he was shot, apparently accidentally, by Matthew Canning in his hotel room in 1860. The exact location of the wound seems somewhat unclear, but it apparently was in the thigh or buttock region. I immediately thought of the sciatic nerve. Personally I have leg pain due to a back problem (sciatica). Maybe Dr. Houmes will read this and comment; I am asking if an injury to or near the sciatic nerve could cause chronic referred pain upwards into the lower back.

In all honesty, just the thought of jumping 11 or 12 feet increases my back pain, let alone actually doing it.
