Just did physical therapy exercises on the floor for my SI joint issues.

It made my lower back feel a little bit better. Still cannot sleep because I'm so uncomfortable.

PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME & HERNIATED DISC: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES - Mya Care

[cbphysiotherapy]

Imagine a persistent pain in your buttocks that radiates down the back of your leg, causing discomfort and hindering your daily activities. This is a common scenario for individuals experiencing piriformis syndrome. Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular condition that occurs when the piriformis muscle, located in the buttocks, irritates or compresses the sciatic nerve.

Three Forms of Sciatica

Following 8 years with the Bone and Joint clinic, orthopedic and spinal surgeon Dr. Zeshan Hyder started the Northwest Spine Institute. Dr. Zeshan Hyder and his team offer a range of pain management and corrective treatments and procedures for chronic spinal conditions such as sciatica. Also referred to as lumbar radiculopathy, sciatica pain can arise from several different conditions. Three of the most commonly diagnosed forms of sciatica include: Piriformis syndrome - The piriformis muscle stretches from the lower spine to the top of the femur bone, and passes over a portion of the sciatic nerve. If the muscle is damaged, it can put pressure on the sciatic nerve. The pain usually subsides with physical therapy and exercise. Lumbar spinal stenosis - Sciatic nerve roots run through several lower vertebrae before extending into the legs and feet. If any of these vertebrae develop stenosis, which narrows the passage the nerve travels through, it can cause radiating pain. Stretches may be beneficial to prevent this disorder. Spondylolisthesis - A sudden trauma such as a fall may cause a fracture or movement in the vertebrae and cause them to push against the nerve. Cases that are not responsive to pain medication or manipulations may require steroid injections.

Piriformis syndrome is a circumstance in which the piriformis muscle, positioned inside the buttock vicinity, spasms and causes buttock ache. The piriformis muscle can also aggravate the nearby sciatic nerve and cause pain, numbness and tingling along the again of the leg and into the foot (much like sciatic ache).

Ode to Ass Shots

Sometimes, reality with CP is so ridiculous, it’s funny.  This applies to botox shots--which I’ve mentioned in previous blogs--but this time, they’re in my piriformis muscles.  Without being too specific about anatomy, these muscles connect your ass to your hips.  When they spasm, as can happen with the combination of cerebral palsy and hip replacement, the sensation mirrors sciatica and also throws in the excruciating feeling of a traditional spasm.  I’d been having terrible pain for months--sometimes so bad it would extend through my middle back causing my legs to shake violently. When I eventually diagnosed myself with piriformis syndrome via Google, I found that treatment consists of one having to get a combination of botox injections directly in your ass to paralyze the piriformis muscles and stop the spasming + compression on my sciatic nerve.

If this sounds unpleasant and incredibly personal, it totally is.  Friday, I went in for my second round of ass shots.  The first round was more diagnostic than anything--if it worked, we knew we were on to something.  It did, so we repeated the injections.

My doctor who does the injections constantly asks about my nerve and “butt pain.”  While receiving the injections, which took maybe all of five minutes, my doctor did things doctors typically do--asking questions like what I’m into, what classes I’m taking for college, and the like to get my mind off the fact that massive needles were sticking out of my gluteus maximus and mirroring nerve pain down both my legs.

The procedure was over as quickly as it began, and I spent the rest of the day resting.  I’ve experienced pain and spasm as a result, which is extremely unpleasant, but having a treatment that works is worth any amount of pain it might cause.

Until next time, thank you, ass shots, for your sweet, sweet pain relief.
