Butt Pain Rehab Video - Piriformis Syndrome

THIS HURTS!

What hurts...: My right buttocks.
How you hurt it...: A gradual onset of right buttock pain, it may be related to sciatica. It bothers me when I stand for an extended period of time.
When you hurt it...: I am not exactly sure... when I stand still I experience pressure in my low back, which usually extends to pain in my right buttock region after a period of time.
Your pain level (1 is low, 10 is high pain): when it hurts it can go up to about an 8. The pain sips like an eletrical shock to my upper thigh at times.
Your age and overall health...: Heatlhy, 52 years old female. I go to curves 3 times a week and walk 2 times a week.

YOUR INJURY COULD BE...

Piriformis Syndrome.

REHAB YOUR INJURY BY...

Icing: 15 minutes for 2 to 3 times per day, with at least one hour in-between.
Both Knees to Chest: Lay on your back and pull both your knees towards your chest. Hold this for 15 seconds. Repeat this 2 to 3 times. Your low back should melt into the table or bed you are on.
One Knee to Chest: While on your back, pull your right knee to your chest. Hold this for 15 seconds. Repeat on the opposite leg. Perform this 2 to 3 times on each side.
Cross Knee to Chest: While on your back, cross your right leg over your left leg and draw your left knee towards your chest. Repeat this on the other side. Hold this for 15 seconds on each leg, 2 to 3 times on each side.
Massage: Lay on your side and massage the area of pain. Massage gently, into the area, making sure there is no pain. Over time, you will be able to massage deeper with no pain.

@krystalp85:

I have the same problem. It sort of feel like sciatica but also it feels like someone has implanted a hard sack of silicone in my butt (closer to the outside of my left thigh).

I have the exact pain your talking about! It hurts so bad!Mine always feels like it needs to pop or something..and it has kind of a buldge when it hurts bad.

Can you do a video to help with gleuteal nerve entrapment? I have ischial bursitus and the doctor thinks it may be a Gleuteal Nerve Entrapment. Thanks! Desperate in Florida...

OMG you are a lifesaver. This is twice I've run across your "how to get yourself out of pain" videos, and both times, you've been spot on. My hip bursitis was getting so bad I could barely stand, let alone walk. I did your exercises, and along with some icyhot liniment and a couple of advils, I was sooooooo much better! Just the liniment and advil got me nowhere, so I know it was your simple yet powerful excersises that did the trick . Thank you thank you thank you :)

I recently read that one potential cause of piriformis syndrome is splaying the legs/feet, that is to say not keeping hte legs and feet parallel while siting or laying for an extended period of time. I notices that someone else mentioned sitting for a long period of time. I 'd bet that they sort of straddle the chair like I used to.
