A member asked:
Can buttock pain on both sides be sciatica or herniated disc?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It is possible if the disc bulges or herniated centrally rather than on the right or left.

Bilateral pain emanating from the lumbosacral cistern could be due to a large central herniation, but could also be seen in degenerative spondylosis with bilateral foramenal stenosis. However, you could alternatively possess sacroiliac dysfunction, which indeed is often bilateral.
