Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Sciatica affects both legs at the same time?

No. Two clinical sources state that sciatica usually affects only one leg, with bilateral involvement being rare; a patient guide mentions weakness in both legs only as a warning sign.
