I don't know if this applies to either Darren or
James, but I'll post it, just in case. This was posted
here (message #179) by a doctor with P.S. He is
responding to a post about surgery, but his discussion
of tendonitis of the Hamsting at the iscial tuberosity
might help someone reading this.

Re: Surgery

To Debbie and everyone,<br>I think it's important
to make sure that there is not significant
tendonitis of the Hamsting at the iscial tuberosity,
which
will give severe pain perirectally when sitting and
will not get better with ps surgery. Try a simple
test, when standing, place the affected leg on a
chair(not to high, just about 30 degrees) and
gradually
bend forward at the waist(this is one form of a
Hamstring stretch). If the pain is reproduced in the
buttock and perirectal area then you may have a
component
of Hamstring tendonitis which may respond to a
gentle stretching program and/or local steriod
injections to the ischial tuberosity. Also, iliotibial
tightness and Quatratus spasm can significantly
contribute
to this problem.<br>Michael
