Double sciatica

Are you sure your surgeon is telling you the truth, that sciatica on both sides is so rare he's never seen another case out of the ten thousand he's done? During my second pregnancy the joints in my pelvic girdle softened enough for it to settle rather hard down onto my sciatic nerves and crushed both of them. I was in extreme pain from my hips to below my knee, half the length of both legs for about seven months straight. And while I didn't get a wheel chair (our house was so small as to make such a thing unthinkable) I was in severe pain every moment of every day. The pain only ended after his birth.

So we have something besides critical thinking in common.
