Sciatica and implant

I have noted a very strange symptom and not sure if there is a real relationship to my implant or not. I often cycle just as headed to bed and sometimes fall asleep inflated. I’m not sure if the resultant sleeping position causes an issue or if the pressure of inflation is the culprit, but on those nights I awake with sciatic pain down my right leg. Now that I am aware of it, I believe I can feel the start of sciatic pain on any strong and prolonged inflation. I researched nerve path and see the nerves pass in the general area of the base of the ventral end of the implant, but never heard of anyone with similar issues. Has anyone experienced or heard of this issue?

I had burning pain in both legs after the surgery. Apparently, it was caused by too much laying in bed after surgery and improved on its own. I went to my GP who ordered X-ray and nothing was found.

Eloquent, hello! How can you describe the difference between ams and coloplast? Which one did you like more?
