Can Sciatica be in both legs?! PLEASE help

Hi everyone! Thank you for taking the time out to read this [

about two weeks ago, I started feeling this random pain in my left butt cheek whenever I bent down, sat the wrong way, etc. it started to worry me so I decided to see a Chiropractor to see what was up.
He basically said that my vertebrae was not aligned properly and it was causing some inflammation and that I also had a pulled nerve. He said we would try to realign my spine every visit (3 times a week) and see if it holds. He mentioned the term "sciatica" to me and I googled it when I got home.
I was horrified at what I saw online -- I saw that some people have it for YEARS with no relief?! I'm worried that I won't feel better with this therapy. Surgery was an option on the sites but there are a lot of health risks.
Also- this morning I got up from bed, and I guess I sat up weird and it caused pain in my RIGHT buttcheek now?!? What is happening.
The pain isn't as severe as the left but it's in the same spot I'm pretty sure. does anyone on here have any advice for me?! I'm 21, I don't work out or anything and this happened suddenly. My sciatica must not be that bad because I can definitely walk still, sometimes I feel numbness down my left leg if I sit for too long but idk I'm just VERY worried and stressed.
i don't eat much anymore and I can't sleep.
Thank you so much to anyone who responds. I really appreciate it.

. Had 7 more epiruralI have suffered from bialteral siatica for 15 years. Came to the point of severe pain down to my toes. After a MRI found I had two ruptured discs, stenosis and my spine was not in line, scoliosis. So after 6 epidurals and 2 rounds of PT went for surgery. Very soon after surgery I noticed a big relief. However after the spine fusion, rods and screws and removing bone spurs, the pain has returned . After one more round of PT and 6 more epidural injections am now in severe pain 24/7. Without the pain medications would be in real bad shape. I am considering more surgery though. Just hang in there.There is relief, just work on it.
