I have had this condition since I was pregnant with my son, in 2004. I believed it came on due to my pregnancy, but it was unbelievably BAD, to where I couldn't sit, stand, lie down or anything without crying out in pain. Now that I think back, it also came on during the same time as an onslaught of other symptoms. I didn't know my mercury amalgams were poisoning me then, but I am very curious if anyone else has sciatica that has had amalgams.

My 17 yr old daughter is pregnant. She is coming on with the terrible sciatica, too. She has had leg cramps and pains (that we think originated from her back) for several years. We have both seen a chiropractor with little or no relief, especially her. She has NO amalgam in her mouth, but she was immunized AND while we were moving in 2004, I found a broken thermometer in our downstairs bathroom. I didn't see the mercury anywhere, and had no idea how long it'd been broken (could have been months), since my husband and I had been using the one upstairs, and the kids used the one downstairs. I am horrified that maybe we vacumed it up and dispersed it, or it went down our heater vent and had a meltdown and let off toxic fumes, and maybe she got exposed that way.

Anyone else that has sciatica, I would love to hear your story.
