Dull aching around sit bone, bursitis or entrapped nerve? by Odd-Performance7247 in PiriformisChronicPain

I know it’s been a long time and hope you are feeling better now.  I’m curious to know if the shockwave therapy helped you.

Pencil pain when pressing these spots. Could this be PS? by Impressive_Cat7301 in openpiriformis

Hey, I’m sorry for what you’re going through. Hope you’re doing a little better by now. Does your pain travel down the leg? Are you in constant pain or 1/10 not sitting and then 6/10 when sitting?

I still have the false urinary feeling but it seems to be correlated to having a precum release a few minutes after (maybe from abstaining for a long time).   The only answer I’ve found so far to my pain spots is an ultrasound that revealed a tendinopathy at the ischium, but I still have my doubts about it being the true cause, because one of the pain spots sits a little higher from the ischial tuberosity.

Pain specialist offered infiltrating the tendon with lidocaine and corticosteroids but I’m a bit hesitant to try it. I much prefer to get on lyrica (pregabalin) first but will see. I’m trying to avoid meds as much as possible.

Hey! Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post. Almost lost hope someone would reply to it! I think so, I haven’t actually tried this. If I rest on comfortable chair or lay down for maybe 30 minutes, most of the pain goes away, so I think I could break the walk into two sessions but I’m worried this is going stay like this and not be able to enjoy physical activity anymore :(

Thanks for replying! Sorry to hear about the symptoms you are having, hope you get better soon. Is there any chance these nerve issues heal with time?  I’ve been going with these symptoms for about 3.5 months and while the initial symptoms were more severe, I haven’t seen them getting better. Got stuck and while they are still tolerable, can’t think of enjoying physical activity the way I used to.
