I had my laminectomy it only worked 50% it took a couple of years for me to do

research and released that my problem was my performis muscle syndrome

All,

I also have piriformis syndrone and sacral iliac syndrome and they go hand in

hand and the sciatia nerve runs right under the piriformis muscle and causes

sciatia also. I just found an article links all to back radicula. (back pain)

It also explains the hip bursitis I had as part of the irritation of the

piriformis muscle.

Article states:

Many cases of refractory trochanteric bursitis are observed to have an

underlying occult piriformis syndrome due to the insertion of the piriformis

muscle on the greater trochanter of the hip. If a patient's trochanteric

bursitis and piriformis syndrome are treated inadequately, both conditions

remain resistant to medical management.

The most effective thing for me was myofascial release on the piriformis

syndrome and stretches, keeping the muscle stretched.

My pysical therapist is trained in this. You Tube has videos of articles on how

to exercise but check with your doctor. If you are not

doing a home exercise program from a physical therapist, you probably would want

to.

Here is the link to the article I refered above.

The exercise has helped me above all. Good Luck with your pain.
