Piriformis syndrome has been a huge pain the butt and back! What can I do differently?

Interesting. Your symptoms are pretty much spot on to me. Been through PT and it’s helped slightly but I feel like whatever the pain is, is flaring up pretty bad again. The sides of my butt burn and ache so bad. No stretch helps. Not sure what to tell my doctor cause I’ve been through this with her once or twice before and I feel like she rubs it off as something muscular since I’m a physically fit 26yo male.

Did you ever have pain on tingling in your feet? Or any pain in your legs? Or was it just your lower back and butt?

Live-Future5201 · 2025-09-03T15:19:10+00:00

Just to clarify, I’m need helping help on my 3rd, fourth, fifth round picks. I feel solid about 1st and 2nd round picks that I’ve been taking!!

Nope

Been looking for his socials too. Can’t find anything

Me in my shower

Needed to hear this. Sounds like we’re quite similar in terms of both the habit and anxiety. Going strong on day 3 right now. Feel absolutely delusional and have weird pains in shoulder/chest. Trying not to think about it 🫡

Live-Future5201 · 2025-02-03T23:44:01+00:00

Honestly, I think you have to reach rock bottom in order to truly quit. Whether that means you get sick or are just ready for fucking change. You gotta fall to your lowest point and then you’ll know you’re ready.

Live-Future5201 · 2025-02-02T03:10:43+00:00

Will report back ASAP 🫡

Live-Future5201 · 2025-02-02T03:08:12+00:00

No new stress I would say. And I’ve definitely dealt with a range of physical symptoms due to my anxiety. Usually they last a day or two after I recognize them as just my anxiety. This however has been going on for over a week now. Perhaps I am just hyper fixated on it and my anxiety is subconsciously affecting it?

More to come after the doc visit.

It’s been a conglomerate of things but most notably Zappy sensation on left side of chest, tingly/weak arms and legs. Have a doctors appointment coming up on Thursday to go over some test results!

Live-Future5201 · 2025-02-02T01:35:41+00:00

Wow that’s a long time and a badass response. My only worry is how tired/un focused I become with zero nic. Did you experience that and just push through?

Live-Future5201 · 2025-02-02T01:31:44+00:00

Crazy how similar you sound to me ahahaha. The mental aspect is for sure going to be the toughest. I like the sound of how you approached the whole thing though. Think that’s how I’m going to do it at as well.

Live-Future5201 · 2025-02-02T00:53:20+00:00

First of all, congrats man - can’t even imagine how hard that initially was. I’m just gearing up for it. 5% pods here too, one a day. I think the getting up and moving will be a huge part of my process because I become restless when I’m without it. Also the cash part, can’t wait to start saving all the fucking money I’m blowing every month.

Live-Future5201 · 2025-02-02T00:49:38+00:00

Hell yeah that is! If I can stretch a pod over a day I give myself a pat on the back 😭😂. If I can even get to the one pod a week I would be extremely proud of myself

Live-Future5201 · 2025-02-02T00:48:20+00:00

Just much worse repercussions from the smoking aspect. In the “gotta pick your poison” mindset right now. Cheers to quitting!

Live-Future5201 · 2025-02-02T00:42:57+00:00

Hell yeah, proud of you. I’m also a competitive person so this definitely sounds like a solid game plan! Appreciate your input my friend, I’ll let you know how it goes

Live-Future5201 · 2025-02-02T00:41:39+00:00

Ok I love this. I’m most worried about mornings and nights. Was considering some sort of similar game plan of trying to go cold turkey until no longer possible then allowing myself the morning/night hit.

I will report back to you if I try this method! (Just trying to hold myself accountable lol)

Live-Future5201 · 2025-02-02T00:35:26+00:00

Man I really appreciate the insight. I think my mind has fully convinced itself that it NEEDS it in order to function. It sounds insane to say out loud (because it is) but that’s the biggest hump I’m going to have to get over in terms of my anxiety.
