BILATERAL PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME

BILATERAL PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME

Piriformis Syndrome
Image by Beth Ohara
Back when I started practice, I was like most of my patients still are today.  I had never even heard the term PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME before.  What I did recognize, however, was that lots of my patients had leg pain and SCIATICA that originated around the buttock area; just below the SACROILLIAC JOINT.  A bit over a decade ago, I started figuring out some of the reasons for this pain. 

Jeanie was one of my original patients over twenty years ago.  For who knows how long, she had struggled with buttock pain and sciatica.  It had always been chalked up to the heavy, hard work associated with running a dairy farm.  Every time I saw her, it was for the same complaint, and the adjustments that I did would not last for more than a day or two and her symptoms would be back ---- exactly like they were before. 

Jeanie became one of my very first Piriformis Syndrome patients.  After treating her successfully on one side, her other side became much more noticeable (our BULLSYEING PAGE will tell you why).  We fixed that as well.  Needless to say, Jeanie has become a big believer in our TISSUE REMODELING TREATMENT.  She went from getting adjusted every month with no real change in her symptoms, to getting adjusted a few times a year with minimal Piriformis Syndrome symptoms. 

Although the video is brand new, it has been over a decade since I treated Jeanie for this problem.

Hi, My name is Sharon from Australia. I was involved in a car accident over 2 years ago. I do have some spinal problems, but I have constant pain in my hips sciatica in my right and left legs. I have only recently being diagnosed with some symptoms of pudendal neuralgia. On the right side they picked up a split piriformis muscle with the sciatic nerve running though the middle. I cant sit down or no one can touch the sacral area of my back, they have offered me a nerve block for the pirformis muscle. Since I have been struggling with this for so long my right foot turns constantly out and my arch has collapsed. I have poly neuropathy in both feet with no disease to cause it since the car accident and no compressed nerve in my back. Can you shed any light to this situation. Thank you for your assistance

Hello Sharon,

I either responded to this privately or failed to see it. I have not personally had good results with Pudendal Nerve Entrapments (if that's what this really is). As far as the bilateral neuropathy, look it up on my site, as there are some things that you can do to help squelch the inflammation. Sorry I don't have simple solutions for you with this.

Hi. I was originally diagnosed with Lumar Spinal Stenosis L4-L5 & S1 approx. 7 years ago.. I will be 40 in 2 months. The more I learn of Piriformis Syndrome, the more I think this is what I have. I have tried nothing for 6 years, except for 3 cortisone shots right at the first of my diagnosis, until the pain got me so depressed I was seriously thinking of suicide. Last year I had Physio for 6 months three times a week.. there I did exercises, decompression and finally acupuncture (seemed to make it worse). I have gone through the Pain program in my area and am currently on the waiting list to try nerve blocks. I would really appreciate anything you can do for me to try and manage this terrible pain.

Hello Connie,

I have been telling people for a long time that Spinal Decompression Therapy, while an excellent therapy for disc issues, will often aggravate a Piriformis Syndrome. Unfortunately, I have no idea who to send you to outside the US.

Sincerely,
Dr. Russ
