Fat Wallet Syndrome

Has anyone ever heard of this? This is what my husband was just Dx with, and no .......it does not mean he has a lot of money. He has been having pain and numbness in his left leg and has been getting phys, therapy for quite awhile. Well, they just figured out that his wallet is the culprit. He has been carrying it in his left back pocket his whole adult life. Years of sitting on a wallet and compressing his sciatic nerve, has caused him to have numbness and pain to the point of limping. This is a new one for me. Needless to say, he has changed pockets.
