I’d always thought my hip pain was actually an issue with the actual hip. After all the radiology I was sent to an ortho surgeon to inject cortisone into my left hip using a live ultra sound to guide the needle…wasn’t looking forward to it. But, after speaking with that doctor he thought my hip was ok and instead thought the muscle ‘strap’ that is in contact with the sciatic nerve is what’s been causing pain. Soooo, he sent me to a surgeon that deals with the piriformis problems and could give me cortisone directly into the muscle.

And that’s what happened, three shots actually w/o anesthesia right into my left cheek! The damn needle was 4” long. Right when the weather is dropping into the 80s too. It’s sore as hell and I’m rotating ice and heat. Apparently the relief, if any, can take up to a week. It’s supposed to relieve the inflammation that causes the muscle to jam the nerve. So we’ll see.

I feel for you man. I dealt with chronic sciatica for years, which I believe is different than your situation, but it was miserable. Stretching and straight leg dead lifts, of all things, got it under control.

Hi. Well good luck I hope it works for you. And it takes the pain away.
 
At least you are not being scammed for an insurance claim like they try to get away with on the east coast *

I notice you made it a point to say on the east coast. Scams like that are common in no fault insurance states, some of them are in the midwest with Utah being the furthest west. No fault insurance makes it easier for the scammer to get a quick return.
I post this because your recent posts usually have some sort of bias or agenda. East coast people have as much integrity and decency as west coast.
