I had my piriformis syndrome diagnosed by a physical therapist and

matter fact, I start active massage release tomorrow for another flare.

This group had just sent e-mails for two weeks as I have been on

bed-rest for three weeks as I cannot bear weight or it goes in spasm

again. The physical therapist measured my area, since it is a

triangular muscle and the sciatica runs right through it. Most people

who have this condition also feel one leg is shorter than the other.

Mine is. It is called " the pain in the butt syndrome " .

I like you encourage anyone with symptoms of sciatic to check this

piriformis syndrome out. Physical therapists are usually individuals

who know how to test for it. I will be having a thinner sliced CT than

before to check and see what nerve impingement is going on and I

hopefully can get an muscle release soon. Always ask for physical

therapists that know how to do an active muscle release or how to break

up nerve impingement. Make sure they can explain it back to you. I

can't wait. You can only take so many muscle relaxants.
