I'm just gonna rip my piriformus muscle out...

[softnpink28]

I was trying to force myself up from a "Air Mattress" I am about 6' tall the mattress was very low.. could I have caused myself Piriformis Syndrome by forcing myself up without a stretch? It's now February I've had discomfort since December 2011 just got started hurting my calf this month.Sitting doesn't hurt walking hurts my thigh and sliding on my butt hurts. Oooo Ouch!

@Ashbladez stretching, massage therapy, & chiropractic adjustments can help depending on the cause as well as other factors. Give those a try.

[Setria007]

@ASHbladez Im 15, and I think I have this but Im not sure. It hurts when I sit down and get up from the chair, but not during sitting. Am I correct to think I have this? is there anything I can do about it?

[NotARebel1]

Is piriformis syndrome more of a chronic condition or can it be acute condition that lasts for a couple days, say after a strenuous workout?

[nabilebraheim]

@NotARebel1 YES IT CAN HAPPEN FROM A SINGLE TRAUMA EVENT

IT ALSO CAN BE CHRONIC

@TCMAUMEE thanks

[elmoblatch16]

Excellent video. Great review of the anatomic variants as well. Thanks!

[nabilebraheim]

@elmoblatch16 thanks

[Nickliu2010]

Interesting video! Piriformis also can cause pain!

[nabilebraheim]

@Nickliu2010 thanks

[NotARebel1]

What causes the pain to start if it is anatomical? Obviously this would be the anatomy for the patient's entire life. Is it just inflammation? Do you prescribe antiinflammatories?

[nabilebraheim]

@NotARebel1 everything you said is correct
