piriformis syndrome

Hi everyone! My name is Emily and for 4.5 years, I lived with chronic pain and symptoms that moved throughout my body. During that time, I received many different diagnoses and experienced symptoms in multiple areas, including: Cubital tunnel syndrome Golfer’s elbow (both arms) Small fiber...

I've been fighting sciatica / piriformis syndrome symptoms for the last 6 months and was doing well during the day but not so well at night. A couple of weeks ago the pain started ramping way up at night and some during the day, and now I can't sleep more than an hour at a time without having...

Hi everyone! I was recently a guest on a podcast where I share my journey with chronic pain (TMS), what triggered it, and what I did to overcome it. Posting it here in hopes it helps others! https://share.transistor.fm/s/7edd40e2 (Overcoming Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy | Emily's Chronic...

Hi all, I know it sounds silly to even admit but I’ve come to realize so much of my low back pain is coming from daily clenching and tension I’m putting into my lower half. I am convinced I clench while sleeping and have even caused calf issues (peroneal tendinitis) by toe pointing while I...

I’m Lisa and I’m 26 and think I might have TMS. Three months ago I injured myself at work and despite going through massage, chiropractic, and physical therapy I seem to still be suffering from bilateral piriformis/glute pain and left side hip and hamstring pain. I tried Curable and had two...

Three years ago, I started experiencing chronic shoulder pain, and had to stop pursuing my favourite hobby - rock climbing. The more I tried to heal it (through physiotherapy and rest initially), the worse it got. I had a costly MRI which revealed something called a HAGL lesion - a ligament in...

If you are reading this, you probably have read countless stories of people in pain. My story isn't any different. Years of mysterious pain. What started in my back, became headaches, hip/leg pain, heartburn, stomach issues, anxiety, sleep problems, MRI's, bulging discs, 'structural imbalances'...

So I am fairly certain my pain is 100% TMS, but I am still experiencing doubt and fear that there is something structurally wrong with my left leg (where I have had majority of my pain for 12 years.) It is mostly sciatica type pain and pirifornis stuff but also hip pain, knee pain/clicking...

This is a long story but felt all information was important for someone. NO PAIN NOW!! My name is Donnie Luper and I want to share my success story on the forum. I am now 60 years old and a dentist in NC. About 18 years ago I started having severe back pain in the lower back. I tried massage...

A nice September day in 2010: A 35 year old squash playing fit me bounding around life happily...casually discussed some painless and bloodless hemorrhoid development with a very senior surgeon (who happened to be a friend of the family)...ended up getting convinced to undergo a "minor"...
