4 minutes

Jasmine Mingaud remembers the day she first started experiencing severe sciatic pain.

She felt the sharp pain the minute she woke up that morning. Multiple scans and MRIs revealed she had a compressed disc that was most likely pinching her sciatic nerve.

Jasmine was in and out of hospital—five times in one month—when the pain first cropped up. She says health-care professionals could not find the right combination of medication to ease her sciatic pain. At times she couldn’t get out of bed or get in and out of the shower.
