In the case of a fall, I would be very suspicious of a PS diagnosis. Most likely, when you fell, you injured more than just the Piriformis muscle. You probably...

James -- Thanks for the email. I agree about pain while sitting. But for me, doesn't matter if I sit, stand- pain at all times. My only fairly comfortable...
Maureen- It's nice to find someone, who has had this almost as long as I have. It has been one misdiagnosis after another. And I think Piriformis Syndrome is...
