Does piriformis compression also result in pinching like feelings on the side-front of hip bone?

I had it 3 years ago and the pain was unbearable and I couldn't function at all, and it even kind of paralyzed me with the feeling of needing to go to the bathroom, even moving my right hand was difficult for me because my whole right buttock was occupied and moving my hand in certain movements, especially related to bending over made it hurt even more it went away on its own after exactly 6 weeks and I continued to limp for another two weeks or so, the leg was really hurt by the nerve pain, then everything went back to normal and I forgot about it as if nothing had happened! Now it came back to me two weeks ago but in a milder way, it is getting better little by little.

Hi there, I am circus performer and have been having lower back pain for a while on 1 side. The pain is mostly in my glute next to my tailbone. Nothing in my hips or the front.

I cannot lift my left leg to even 90 degrees without pain (and I’m very flexible). If I have my feet together I can’t touch my toes without pain (which is no issue normally), the pain is only felt on the left side. So if I bend the left knee I have no limitations. It’s also easier to bend fwd with my legs apart. When I flex my feet; my left foot doesn’t flex as strong as my right anymore.
Arching backwards doesn’t seem to cause pain, it’s all the compression/fwd bending motions that cause pain. Or when I try to stretch the left hamstring.

Which of these problems does this sound like to you? And my biggest question is - I’ve been taking painkillers (ibuprofen/tylenol) to be able to perform my shows. With them; I can get to my almost full range of motion with minimal pain. Without them I wouldn’t be able to do it. Is this dangerous? Do I need to 100% stop performing? Or is it okay to use pain killers to get to my range of motion while I maintain doing rehab exercises on the side? Or am I going to make the condition worse? Thank you

What's the best doctor to go for this ? To diagnose or rule out?

[ElMalito]

You forgot to mention wallet syndrome. Basically throughout time your wallet in your backpocket will trick the brain into believing the wallet itself is the piriformis muscle. Thus the muscle itself will slowly start to shrivel up or shrink the muscle until and rapidly expand to compensate thus compressing the sciatic nerve.

In my case the pain strongly radiates to my foot around my big toe along with a feeling of plantar fascitis. I cannot stay seated on most chairs. been dealing with this for about 50 days now. please any advice aside from strengthtening

5:21...it is sensitive, but not specific! It's a false positive, not a false negative.

[kennicheassia]

This exact 💯 what my diagnosis was from the physio specialist.

[kloozman]

How common is it to have piriformis syndrome? My physical therapist (a younger guy) says hardly anybody gets it and it's over diagnosed
