Pain in the butt - It's NOT Piriformis Syndrome

[@lauriemtz8616]

My butt and hip pain wake me up screaming after two hours of sleep and panicking. Not sleeping is making the pain feel more intense. 2 hours of sleep is better than no hours. This too shall pass.

[@timrader1260]

Sorry for you 2. I feel your pain. This kind of pain is crazy intense and people who have never dealt with it will never understand. Please though don't wish for death and I hope you are joking about that. Maybe check for herniated discs as well. I ruptured 3 from SI up. It's been 20yrs now and I still get crazy tightness at times that cause this insane pain. Myofascial release helps me more than anything and you can do at home. Some good videos on here about what to do. Best wishes to you 2

Hi, please find a normal neurologist which can send you to get MRI and blood test. Don't waste time as I did, physical therapy may help feel better but don't solve your problem.

[@betula-pendula]

You forgot that tight muscles or lack of mobility in the myofascial parts are able to reduce the blood supply of the nerves (vasa privata). Not a Kompression of the nerves themselves but of the blood vessels that are doing the 'catering service' to the glia cells, so that the nutrition of the nerves is reduced. In this case you also can have tingling or pain at the backside of the leg. Pain at the side of the leg is rather a myofascial problem.

[@АмираЛор]

​@@АмираЛорsearch for neuro surgeon. It is saddle area pain which needs to be treated early.

[@johnhodgeman3980]

At worst, I have referred pain going from si joint area to the glute to the side of the leg down to the knee. I seldom get actual sciatica. It's not referring from my spine. It doesnt go down the back of the leg. So you're saying the pain is related to myofascial which can compress nerve. In this case, for me, its be the cluneal nerves for sure,at minimum.

[@djkenny1202]

I don't care what terminology you use. My butt still hurts and the pain makes its way to my ankles. I do all the exercises and work out 3-4 times weekly. It hurts when I continually walk around a table or stand (part of my work). I have been to PT. The irritation has been going on for 4+ years. Doctors get hung up on terms. What I seek is results.

[@ke2568]

I understand that you are suffering and that it's really frustrating. I'm in the same boat. However terminology matters because diagnosis matters ...and if you don't get the right diagnosis then you can't get the right treatment. And you can't get the right diagnosis if your doctor or physical therapist doesn't understand the difference between one condition versus another; and they have to know and use the correct and precise terminology to do that.

Apart from pain in the glutes there are other neurological symptoms. While sitting pain hugely grows and gas incontinence due to sudden loss of muscles control appears (it is not mentioned by anyone but it is worse than any pain).

[@irenemax3574]

It sounds like you have nerve damage. Ideal would be an MRI read by a competent person. A good physiotherapist could perform tests to confirm which nerve has been damaged, and perhaps offer manipulation treatment to relieve it. Deep tissue or Thai massage might help. If you could do plenty of modified lunges and squats, that might help.

I had that deep pain in the butt and other horrible, painful symptoms. So, I could no longer run for exercise. Walking was painful. I put on weight. I was in denial. The belt was long before on its last belt hole. I had trouble admitting to myself that I needed to start buying "extra-large" underwear. After I realized that the light clothes was causing me horrible extra pain in the hip and down the leg, and I started wearing larger size clothes, and now that deep pain in the butt has become quite rare.

[@DonMcHattie]

@@mimi-dq1tx I comment became way too long. I would not post. I will try something else.

[@DonMcHattie]

@@mimi-dq1tx Loose fitting clothes...the larger point is that the pain in the butt is apparently a tendon strain, because is starts and stops hurting quickly. It doesn't have the weird symptoms of a nerve problem. It doesn't get better with I take a nutritional supplement called "Nerve Regen Formula." And, it doesn't hurt like a muscle strain, where it gets more acute for about 40+ hours and then gradually becomes less severe for about ten days. I can deliberately cause that pain by straining against the blockage of the internal rotation of my left leg. I can deliberately not cause that pain. See second reply.

[@DonMcHattie]

Any part of range of motion that is not used for weeks or months accumulates a bad molecule that causes pain and stiffness. Apparently, too much of that lack of motion cause a part of the range of motion to become 'frozen' due to points of adhesion. My remedy plan is to do seven or more repetitions of moving through that range of motion. At the apparent end of the range of motion, pause, and move a little farther. Don't strain. Do those repetitions three or more times a day every day.

[@matchpoint14]

ATTN: it is possible to have more than one thing going on. So many times experts try to pinpoint one thing, but it is very possible to have 2 or even 3 issues.

7 dats ago I had horrible pain in my buttocks where m. piriformis is located. I was groaning in my bed. When I stood or walked no pain. When I touched m. piriformis the same pain.

Everything aggravates the pain. I used to be really fit. I can’t seem to find any solution and can’t really seem to find a diagnosis.

[@soundmind69]

Same :c

[@RichRobinson]

Update. After years of pain, they did a CT guided injection into the SI joint. The anaesthesia killled the pain completely for up to 3 hours post injection. The steroid has helped somewhat but it was mainly a diagnostic tool. It all indicates to the fact that we’re barking up the right tree. I’m trying not to get my hopes up but this is excellent progress after years of ambiguity and negative testing. I believe I have chronic inflammatory sacroiliitis. I’ve done my research and it’s common not to show up in CT and MRI scans, of which I’ve had several. I’m preying that they will burn the nerve off so I can get my life back. I’m fully functional, full strength and range of motion, it’s just the pain and the consequences of movement that is so horrendous and debilitating. If the would go away, I’d be fine. Sometimes things are hard to pin down but it doesn’t mean there isn’t something legitimately wrong . FIGHT for your treatment. Fight for yourself. I wish the very best for anyone reading this who is struggling with this stuff.

My PT has mentioned my Sciatica and Piriformis Syndrome interchangeably. It is sharp burning only in my left buttock. I found it can be replicated by right hip flexion stretch.

If they are prescription pain meds, you’re doing your body a world of hurt and it will be very difficult to come off of opioids. Your calf needs stretching, the back of your knee, your quads, and hamstrings all need to be stretched in addition to the piriformis muscle. Try doing them several times a day.

Nobody knows or wants to know what it is. all say it's my back because my back is bad. I know my back pain, all on the left, this is on the right. NOT referred, not sciatic, Very localized deep in my right iliac crest. I fell on tile flat on my butt from sitting height. I'm being offered spinal cord stimulators and injections in my back, my SI joint but not one dr, of the two i've seen, have even touched my body. Have even looked at where I say I hurt. They look at my MRI and said "back." It's a new injury. Why can't I get help? Dont' inject me until what you can tell me where it is and what it is. I have CRPS of both legs so it's complicated but I can not just let drs be injecting my back where ever they want as they guess. The hip dr refused my referral because on MRI he is sure it's my back. I could have a fracture or my PT thinks I torn my gluteal muscle. Two months and last week I decided I needed to just stop life and go to bed. it's getting so much worse I can't bear weight on my leg anymore. I've had to stop PT and chiro as it's getting worse but feel so disrespected by drs. yes, lots of back pain - this is different and new! Thanks for this video.

Upper right quadrant. What can be done for a torn gluteal muscle. How can it be diagnosed. Do you have a video or can you make one????? Or respond. I fell. and I'm about to end my life because it feels over as I can't walk. And I walk with CRPS from the hips down, you know I have a high pain tolerance. I'm about to sui. Dr.s dont get it.

I'm in similar situation. It's awful. This has been going on for years. I have had the same issue as far as doctors seeing my MRI and just blaming my low back my back is a mess we all know this also they don't look anywhere else I keep telling them that my right hip is killing me as well as my feet nobody will look at anything they just keep saying that you're back I'm so tired of being gaslight and being told that it shouldn't be that bad I have now been out of work for over a year I have become majorly depressed I used to work so very hard and now I feel my life has been taken right away from me and they wonder why we think about suicide daily
