While sciatica could cause most of these problems you have a presentation that is not typical. I suspect the nurse is operating above her pay grade.
Sciatia, for example, is usually only on one leg, and has nothing to do withn the wrists. Nor does it cause pain in the back of the head.
My vote is the nurse is on spacechips and you need to see an M.D. for further evaluation.
