Hello All,

I made a very interesting discovery a few weeks ago.
To all that dont know my past history I was convinced
I had piriformis syndrome from about 2000 on. I had
surgery in 2004 when vein clusters that were wrapped
around the sciatic nerve in my upper thigh were
discovered and removed. The clusters were only found
after the surgeon started the surgery for piriformis
release. There was a little improvement after the
surgery. I could sit for longer periods but the
crippling sciatic pain would come eventually.

A few weeks ago I bought a motorcycle.
Guess what, I have no pain when riding the bike.
It must be that my thigh is not compressed on the bike
therefore no pain.

As you can imagine I have been using the bike a lot !
It is wonderful to drive somewhere and not be in pain
when I get there. Just thought you might like to know.
Try sitting without compressing the thigh somehow and
see if it makes any difference to the pain level.
James.

That is really surprising news. I suspect it is unique to you. I always had worst pain. Enjoy your freedom! Good luck, Mary ...
