A double mastectomy requires a moderate amount of time lying on an operating room table in one position, not moving and in a supine position. The possibility of unusual pressure on the sciatic nerve for an extended period is likely. Also, some spinal stenosis may have been aggravated by the length of time she was immobile. Should be nothing related to the surgical procedure on the breasts however. Some Ibuprophen for the sciatic inflamation and some mild spinal stretches should help. Also an ice pack applied to the lower back/ hip area should help.
