    Honestly, it is possible.

    especially if your wallet is like George Costanza’s. :-)

    Yes.

    It does mess up your back and your spine actually starts to bend the way you are sitting.

    Yes! The piriformis muscle is usually the reason for sciatica symptoms. It is basically one of your "butt" muscles; therefore, sitting for long periods of time on a regular basis in general could cause compression on the sciatic nerve causing sciatica, even more with a wallet in the way. Make it a habit to take your wallet out of your pocket before you sit down.

    Yes it causes your pelvis and spine to be out of alignment
