Hello. I have been experiencing Sciatica for about three months. I went to my family doctor who thought it had something to do with the ovaries. My u/s came back with thickened endometrium. I just had a D&C done in March for the endo problem. I am still having a lot of pain, so my family doctor ordered an MRI of the spine. I have two herniated disks. I got passed along to the Orthopaedic and now I am scheduled for surgery on April 25. I have been experiencing some pelvic pain for several days now, but my gyn said i am ok. I would go to the doctor and get checked out to see if they can figure out what is causing your pain. Best of wishes to you.
Welcome to the site. Ovarian cysts can cause severe lower back and leg pain, mimicing sciatica. They can also cause GI problems. 99% of ovarian cysts are benign. You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers. Godspeed
