My piriformitis, which I had been dealing with for 3 years up until last week, I solved by finally realizing how to stretch my hamstrings. I'd also suffered from tight hamstrings from my work, for all this time, and I knew it, but every time I stretched I saw no effect. Finally learned why what I did wasn't working and finally stretched them correctly (thanks to an obscure KZbin video I stumbled upon), and now my piriformitis is completely gone. I had restless nights and would get orgasmic relief from the roughest foam roller. Overnight, properly stretched my hamstrings, issue completely gone. This video appeared in my recommendations from before now. Very few mention the hamstrings as the culprit, but tight hamstrings pull on your entire pelvis and causes a rounded lower back, which (evidently?) can strain the nerves around the piriformis, which can easily be mistaken for piriformitis. Stretch them, get relief from the pull and suddenly all my issues went away, immediately, after the first stretch. 3 years to fixed in 10 minutes. Will never forget the experience and relief. It's rejuvenating.

Broke open the running last month but in spurts and very short periods. Was hoping that it would help me unit both legs into one but I'm in more pain.

Thanks bro , I needed this video I have a herniated disc suffering for 5 weeks
@mariecarton861110 ай бұрын
Do you have a bone setter in your neck of the woods ?. If so go and get the disc pushed back in. If not get a syrong person to do it . Sit on a bench or hard chair and bring your body down onto your lap. Get your person to push the disc in with his thumb. If out a long time it will have a noticable bulge. When pushed in you need a piece of strong brown paper about 12" wide by 12" and place it over the area and keep in place wit Elastoplast on both sides of spine. This is to stop you over extending the back and allowing it to pop out again. You must sit on a hard chair at all times and when driving put a board under your bottom. If no board usr a few thick hard magazines. Do this for 6 weeks. When putting on paper sit upright. After this time grt someo e to do a back massage st least once a day fir a week using an oil of choice. Codliveroil might be good. If out a long time the scar tissue will have been pushed out of the joint and you will fee nauseous for 48 hours until it is absorbed. Good Luck.
