I am suffering with probable piriformis syndrome....I have a pain in the butt. The piriformis muscle, when inflamed, compresses the sciatic nerve causing glute soreness, and pain down the hamstring in my leg. I stopped running a week ago and am stretching like crazy. I am still icing it and taking nsaids to decrease inflammation. There is no improvement so far, but I don't want to start running again until the pain is gone. I really don't want this to become a chronic problem.
This is bad timing. I had been increasing my mileage and was supposed to run a race this week. I don't think that is going to happen.
