I've currently experienced sciatica nerve impingement injury. It isn't fun at all. The symptoms can inflame the muscles around the pelvis, quads, glutes even gastrocnemius and Achilles.
Almost 8 days now, I couldn't foam roll. Stretch the muscles, not even able to walk or eat and sleep.
The pain is excruciating and it causes the nerve to inflame in excruciating shocking fire that constantly goes up then down through the second toe back to illium.
I know this because I've experienced it and I had to take inflammatory tablets to reduce muscle inflammation and wear nerve pain patch to ease the nerve.

Started a new job last month standing in one position for 8 hours a day, I've noticed my lower back to my mid thighs are really painful were sometimes I cannot walk. I came across this video and start doing some exercises and the pain is lessing, it was hard to get into some of the positions but once I did, I've noticed less pain and more flexibility. With that morning heating pad and these exercises are really helping.

Don't forget to take slow and controlled breaths while you foam roll and stretch. If you breathe in a shallow and rapid manner your nervous system will perceive a threat and continue to make the muscle tight as a result. Breathing through the pain and discomfort will tell your nervous system -everything is fine, you can loosen up the muscle and stop sending pain signals. -

I did not that some piriformis pain can result from an underactive glute med! I used to have to foam roll my piriformis every single day & always had such issues w it, but last year, I started doing side raises to strengthen my glute med. After that, the piriformis pain basically went away. Never made that connection til now. Thanks for all this great info!

Ahhhh! I wish I would have seen this a decade ago when I started having issues and every PT told me to stretch stretch stretch and things only kept getting worse for years. Finally, a chiropractor stopped the nonsense and told me to stop stretching it and only then did I get some improvement. I-m looking forward to trying these. You-re brilliant! Thank you!

Hi Cori, I often get a really nasty pain in my pelvis kinda at the top of my glutes but deep inside, it's sickening at times, it stops me cleaning my car, or vacuuming or anything that seems to require I lean forward slightly. I think it's my quadratus lumboram maybe? Any chance you can do a video on how to fix it please? Thanks in anticipation!

I feel I-m at a double whammy. My piriformis hurts but I also have a hip flexor issue. Anterior and posterior problems. So when I stretch one, I aggravate the other somehow. I-ve not been to a professional yet but I-ve put up with this for 8 months now. Got this injury doing a heavy leg day once (either leg extensions or cardio rows.

Thanks.

Great information. In all the videos I-ve watched regarding back pain, no one ever gives a timeline of recovery. I-ll try something for a week or two, and when I don-t get pain relief, I blow it off and wonder if I-m ever going to get better. Do you have any suggestions to viewers who might have the same concerns?

I always find that my calf starts to cramp when I do a side leg lift- do you thing this is a positioning problem, or just a stronger muscle taking over from weaker abductors? It continues no matter what angle I hold my foot, turned in or out. Any ideas Cori?
Thank you for another great video!
