My sciatica was actually trigger points in gluteus minor. There are a few conditions that mimic sciatic pain.

She the herniations in the MRI.

No 'pseudo' here!

Ja, me too, nothing pseudo here either. Herniations can cease to inflame with time, and location of herniation along the annulus can make a difference in level of pain. I have no disc left at L5-S1, and herniations throughout, but when I started doing trigger point therapy, it disclosed what was causing my "sciatica." Just an idea, not diminishing anything you're going through.
