I additionally do nicely in bodily remedy.

In my case, this heart level is the middle of my hip, which might be piriformis muscle muscle. It is okay when you really feel ache within the central space whereas doing PT, however this should not make the switch within the leg worse as a result of it means the sciatic nerve is being compressed from the motion.

For some purpose, even with pillows below my knees, it nonetheless hurts to lie on my again for lengthy intervals of time. However the good factor to remove from that is that the ache is clearly coming from my left aspect If attached. Up till now, I had been assuming that I simply had piriformis syndrome (now often known as deep butt ache).
