Ischiogluteal Bursitis & Hamstring Tendinopathy- When do we use Prolotherapy?

[@e.miller8943]

This condition used to be called weavers' butt. Weavers got it from sitting on a hard bench and pushing treadles to change the position of the warp strings. A good modern name would be bicyclers' butt, caused by sitting on a hard saddle and pushing the peddles.

I'm a very active paraplegic. Fighting this for over a month now. Got a ischial bursitis cushion. Might have to look for treatment.

I used to sit alot because of which this pain started 3 months past and no relief at all... consulted docter but he suggested to sit on soft surface etc but skill i have this pain... im very sad and in pain Plz can u share ur experience like what you did.... did you do some exercise or something Did u do mri Plz reply soon 😔

[@Granite]

@@disha2669 Mine flared up after doing a lot painting and labor while sitting on a hard metal service. I ended up with these lumpy gland things. Very painful I know. So what helped was the pillow with the two cut out for both ischial bursitis which will let blood flow return to the parts so they can heal. I was told they are so hard to heal because of lack of blood flow to the bursitis. So every night try to massage around the area and bring blow flow to the area. Also try to focus awareness to the location. Tl:Dr ischial bursitis pillow, stay off the bursitis as much as you can, and massage the area every night to bring blow flow back to the swollen area.

I had proximal hamstring avulsion repair surgery in January and I have been experiencing symptoms of this for over two weeks. It is extremely painful. My recovery was going so well too . My repaired hamstring is working great but my pain is located more in my pelvic floor. Sitting is SO painful. Steroids aren't working. Getting an MRI later this week. Hopefully I will get some answers.

[@saallday294]

Totally get it. I was almost healed and then over did it in yoga and tore the ligaments again. How did it work out for you and how long to heal?

[@alaa6973]

What the diagnosis ater MRI? How do u treat your pain last?

[@saallday294]

@@alaa6973 I had a 2cm tear at the ischial tuberosity. Physical Therapy, No Yoga, Acupuncture and rest. It is still healing and each time I think it is better, I micro-tear it just enough flair it up again. The pain...Ibuprodin & ice. It is taking a long time to heal, but it is getting better. If it isn't better soon, then Plasma replacement therapy. I am not a candidate for surgery.

[@FoReNziiCz]

How many procedures does it normally take for a chronic condition and how many does it take to notice the healing?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

The average number of treatments needed is 3-6, and most patients feel at least some improvement after the first treatment.

Carissima dottoressa, la scrivo dall'italia, io da 1 anno non posso stare seduta sulla sedia, che sento le ossa della Tuberosità Ischiatica che sporgono quando sono seduta, per colpa di questa sporgenza ho avuto la Sindrome del Piriforme, che Grazie a Dio e passata, ora farò i raggi al bacino, si vedrà qualcosa di queste ossa sporgenti, specialmente nel lato sinistro, ho fatti fisioterapia e Osteopatia, ma le ossa sono sempre sporgenti, ho preso cuscino che sembravano adatti, ma sento lo stesso le ossa sporgersi,. Mi dia un consiglio se ci sono degli esercizi mirati per queste ossa? Mi aiuti sono disperata.

[@KN-ev1tq]

how do you determine those things talked about in this video (thickening of the hamstring, bursitis, etc)? I saw 7 medical pros: 1 neurologist, 4 orthopedic drs, 3 chiropractors about this from 1998-2005, until I just decided to give up cycling because I was in too much discomfort by mile 10 that I was having to get off the bike and let the group leave me behind. I had an MRI and x-rays, but everyone said they couldn't determine soft tissue injuries from that.

Hello Ma'am, Can you please explain how to diagnose whether the pain is due to bursitis or hamstring tendinitis or piriformis muscle/scatia nerve pain? I am suffering from inner lower butt pain since last two months but unable to decide the exact cause of pain? Kindly help! Thanks

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Narayan Sharma, We would advise you to seek a medical professional who can do a proper physical exam and perhaps ultrasound to see the tissue better and help you determine the diagnosis and a treatment plan. In our center, we often use Comprehensive Prolotherapy in all of those conditions. We wish you all the best in healing!

[@Tracklifeent13]

After getting the injections how long does it take for an athlete to return to play ?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Shelby, Good question. It depends on the patient. In most cases, athletes are able to continue some level of modified training through the treatment series, increasing in intensity as the injured area repairs. Most of the time, we treat high-level athletes in their off season. But again, patients are all unique. There are a few days after each treatment that a patient is to refrain from exercise and then we instruct them on how to return to training based on the injury being treated.

It seriously hurts in this area. I run about 9 miles every morning. I was finishing up running one morning, I felt a sharp pain in this area. after I had to suddenly stopped for 7 days after a 30 day streak. By the 7th day the pain was all gone. I succeeded on my first attempt back after a week (6miles) that’s all I was able to run, As the run progressed, the pain grew more, I was in terrible, unbearable pain. it gets too tight. I can't loosen it. My left leg seemed to get shorter with each stride. I can kind of feel me hobbling around the track, my engine had even more power but I was forced to stop It's not so much the pain thing, but the limited movement in my leg

[@ali_munro]

I’ve been experiencing this for months and it’s also triggering headaches/migraines. I’m now taking 2x 100mg sumatriptan every other day 😔 if anyone can advise me on what to do. My GP doesn’t think they’re linked, I’m really suffering now, it’s effecting my work, making me really ill and at worse confused and also vomiting. I’m at a loss.

[@KN-ev1tq]

confusion and vomiting? Those are not related to ischial bursitis. That's some other diagnosis or a reaction to Rx. I imagine by now you've gotten a diagnosis. I'd be interested in knowing what it was.

does this cause snapping sensation when sitting down becauze i can pop this area back n forth n it hurts n feels hard

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi ACERLuck7- Yes, joint instability can cause popping snapping sensations when moving the joint, and so we look at tendons and ligaments to see why they are allowing the joint to snap instead of allowing the bones to glide smoothly. Sorry to hear about your pain. Hope you can get to the bottom of your problem soon.

Can anyone tell me what can cause painful cramps or spasms that occur on the INSIDE of the thigh? I can handle cramps in the back of my thighs or a charlie horse, but, whatever this is on the INSIDE of the thigh is worse than child labour! The only thing that helps me is trying to stretch the area, and I apply heat from my heating pad, which I always have close by, The heat with the stretching helps. Is this the hamstring? I thought the hamstring was at the BACK of the thigh, not on the INSIDE of the thigh.

[@johnrivera6085]

Could be a muscle imbalance. I recently started doing squats and my inner thigs and quads started cramping up from just doing 50lb squats. Therapist said my glutes are very weak, so my quads and nearby muscles take on the load until it just gives up. Could be idk lol
