    Excellent explanation! I wish more PTs were trained in these techniques. I suffered for a couple of years with a tight pirformis and illiacus muscle. There wasn't anyone who knew what it was or how to treat me. after much self study, not to mention PT, acupuncture, chiropractor, MRIs and NSAIDs, I finally came across releasing trigger points as a solution.

The first did absolutely nothing to help. The second only a week ago made it feel better for a couple of days. Right back where I was. I've been having this pain for about 6 years now. In 2015, I had a lamenectomy done on L3-L4. Helped for about a year. Ever since then I've had increased pain mainly in this exact area.

I’m just getting better, but it took a lot of work to get to this point. I injured myself at the gym, and now I’ve realized I’m no spring chicken anymore so I need to rethink my routine. Anyone out there dealing with this, my heart is with you. The woman who gives me allergy injections told me she’s dealt with it and she told me it’s worse than childbirth. I know it’s floored me before where I couldn’t move and paramedics had to take me to the hospital. It was that bad.

      Hi Glenda, that's close to my mom's name, Glenna. Haha, so anyway, this is called piriformis syndrome, it took over 4 years for my many Dr's to figure out. I still have severe pain I'm my legs, but not this anymore. What help dramaticly was my Dr giving me cortisone shots in my hip, back and piriformis muscle to help release the muscle that was tightening around my sciatic nerve and causing severe pain and my whole leg would go numb. So I got shots every 3 weeks for a year and a half and that part of my pain is pretty much gone now. So ask your Dr about cortisone shots, if he says no, get another one, because it's life changing, believe me!!

I feel like something's growing and my buttock on the right side it's swallowing like it's growing. Knee problem very hard to struggle to walk. The doctor did not give me any explanation when I came out of surgery. All he said everything was stuck together. I cry was going to happen to me now. I'm back with a cane. Now my left leg did not have a problem at first. It's numb also. I feel something on my right buttocks moving up and down nerves like water. I gave everything I could to get well and nothing work.

    Oh how I wish I had found this channel sooner! I suffered horribly for years and found it impossible to get help from doctors. I had to search and study and learn to release my own trigger points with a candy cane shaped tool. Almost every trigger point in my body had become involved and were very painful and sensitive. It took very intense and repeated self treatment over a long period of time to totally and completely release them all and eventually get relief. It seemed like there was little information on the subject and I couldn’t find anyone to do it for me. I pray that you will be a help to those who are suffering and I thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining things so clearly and freely!

I wish I knew the name of it but it allows you to put a lot of pressure without a lot of strength being put into it because of the leverage you get. I looked up the trigger point locations and they were all extremely tender. I just learned to hold it on them until they released but they tend to cluster and when one would release it would often move to the next nearest one. But eventually I was able to get them all to release and it changed my life. I hope you can find it and figure out how to get the relief you need! 🥰

    I've had this pain for years and its now extended to the whole hip. I cannot walk, climb stairs or get in/out of the car without severe pain. The resulting lopsidedness and misalignment has repercussions throughout the body, leading to osteoarthritis and other complications.
    Despite seeing countless drs and physios, only one said it was piriformis syndrome. Everyone else said its just a bit of everything. Sad why they choose not to tell patients what must be fundamental in their training.

    Good stuff. I’ve been diagnosed with sciatic nerve issues that are caused by the piriformis muscle. It hasn’t really given me sciatic leg “pain” (only very infrequently) but I’ve had a lot of tingling and numbness. The piriformis muscle itself doesn’t typically hurt but when I go after the pressure points, as per this video, it is very tender. This video has certainly given me a better understanding of the components and dynamics of my condition. Thank You.

    My experience was after back surgery, I had nerve pain in both hips and nerve damage down both legs and feet. The pain was the worst pain I’ve ever had and it lasted four months.This was four years ago and I still have numbness in my legs and feet. Two weeks after the surgery I couldn’t move without awful pain. I spent six weeks inpatient physical therapy. The nerve pain started going down my leg so couldn’t make anymore progress and I was discharged. I made an appt. with a pain management doctor. I told him what all was going on. He gave me an injection. It didn’t work. I went back and he did another. In three days I noticed some change and that was the beginning of the end of the nerve pain. This was four years ago and I’m pain free as far as nerve pain goes. I still am unsteady walking from the nerve damage in my legs and feet. But no pain. Just thought I’d put this out there. I hope anyone with this pain finds a solution. When I had the pain, I couldn’t sit in an upright position. I had to recline or lie flat or the nerve pain was unbearable. And that was for four months. It’s not for sissies. Bev

      Hello, unfortunately, no injections will help you, they only transfer the active trigger to the passive state. Painkiller injections give only a temporary effect, until, under the influence of a number of negative factors (hypothermia, overload), your trigger becomes active again. And remember the main thing. Not treated trigger point always leads to myofibrosis

    Great video! Lumbar spondylotheliosis? from a back injury long ago resulting in two back fusions. Before the surgeries I was a runner from 1988 to 2012. The pain I experienced the most was from my hips and butt, due to hip flexor, illiacus and piriformis weakness. In-between my 1st and 2nd fusion I learned stretches for those three muscles with other stretches and 2 years after my 2nd surgery and with meds, I could finally walk long enough to start losing the 45 pounds I gained! I have lost 15 pounds since Jan 1! It is so important to adhere to a regimen of stretching those hip, back and leg muscles to minimize pain in those areas! Peace and love to all of you!

      OMG!!!! I'm sorry for your suffering. I need surgery 😫 but I don't want to lose my mobility, flexibility, and everything I worked for. My spirit is broken. How are you doing now?? I almost feel like saying no to surgery reading comments all over CZcams and I see so many negative results. I'm to scared to trust any surgeon now. What can you do know activities wise? Have you ever gone ketogenic for weight management and inflammation?

      Congratulations! I'm a trigger point and myofascial release specialist. I learned to refine my technique because of my own nerve impingement issues.
      I am confident these techniques will help you.
      Tylenol is hepato- toxic in large quantities. I found meloxicam very helpful. I couldn't stand pregabalin because it made me tired and dopey. If you can get keterolac 10mg po it's also very effective and less damaging to the liver.
      Best of luck for relief!

    Oh my. Just too watch this brings back memories of extreme pain I've gone through just the last 5 weeks or so! All the above pain. Understanding helps. But it takes time to eventually put two and two together. Rest and steriods and muscle relaxants and now anti inflam before bedtime has me moving more comfortably at least! More pain than all the labour pains of four kids. But whý? I ask. PT is the best. If you can get an appointment soon enough. And helping yourself is nòt a good idea. You may do it wrong.

    Few years ago, I used a heating pad for a few minutes to hopefully relax the nerves and muscles in this area. I ended up in the hospital! It increased my inflammation to the point of unbearable. I found a TENS unit was the best form of relief, and it was immediate. Also it calmed the nerves enough that the pain went away for at least a week. I stand by my TENS unit! Cold and heat were big no-nos for me.

    Seems similar to using a lacrosse ball in finding trigger point release; unfortunately, some insurance companies wont cover such, so PTs simply wont do use it, though they should mention it for at home care. Laying in that ball, holding the pressure through the pain was very effective. Now it's glute brides, glute squats (no weight bearing), fig 4 stretches, etc.
