Piriformis Syndrome

[Camaro91]

Hi all.

Just wondered if anyone on here has suffered from Piriformis Syndrome before and if so what helped?

I've been hobbling around for 6 months now, comes and goes - did it doing squats, I've been getting massage which is a big help, and also stretching and ibuprofen, but am open to any more suggestions?

Cheers

Matthew.

Sought help from a physiotherapist?

Yeah I did and was given some exercises to do, they did help a bit but because I left it so late to see a physio probably not a good thing!

I've just googled that one and found out that's pprobably what has been causing me discomfort for the last 3 months.

Thanks for that.

I am having massage therapy and will try the suggested stretches I've found on the net. It's not baad at the monment but comes and goes.

Problem with such things (but not necessarily this issue) is that to get anywhere, you have to repeat the exercises religiously and keep repeating them until it's gone completely, I understand. It can take months or it may never go but be kept at bay by repeating the exercises.
