I had a botox injection into my piriformis which allowed me to sit for 2 hrs. The botox wears off so now I am scheduled to have my piriformis removed by the surgeon who did my hip replacement. My surgery is next week, june 3. I found a second doctor here in Charlotte NC who has done about 100 pirifo...

Quick update folks......So I had the botox injection into my piriformis on Dec 20th at John Hopkins. It was amazing how they could isolate that small muscle with the mri machine and then inject it with botox in several different places. I could see it on the screen as they ran me in and out of the s...

April, I so glad that your are improving...sure beats the getting worse we sometimes see. And the healing process is slow for sure but to go almost a week pain free is great. Good for you!!! I tried to reduce my lyrica some and just a 50mg reduction resulted in pain increase....so I am staying at 30...

Thanks for the reply April. There is good video of Dr Tollestrop removing the piriformis. Tollestrop is fellow of Dellon and they work together each winter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUGibmuBCNc So my hip surgeon has offered to do the piriformis operation but said he may get a neurosurgeon to ...

Greeting everyone. So here is an update from me. I do not have PN according to the doctors at Johns Hopkins. The mri guided pudendal nerve block with Dr Fritz did not relieve my sitting pain.

I would try to get the root canal doctor to do the procedure in two visits. I was able to get mine to do that and each visit was just less than one hour in the chair. I make my own ice and freeze my butt cheek with either a blue ice pack or thick ice. It can be done. I have had two crowns done and I...

Yes, sitting has a cumulative effect on me also so I try and avoid it altogether. I am fortunate to be retired so don't have to worry about a job but do need to run some errands so just try and do my short driving trips only once or twice a week if possible. Sometime I have to sit more than normal a...

I would try to get a referral from your primary care doc to a pain center. This PN can be extremely painful. Try to get your pain under control first then seek out treatment was what I was told to do. .. Lyrica helps me....the amitrip dose you are taking is a small starting dose....increase to 25mg ...

Have you been to the doctor for this problem. What do they say?

I get pain from time to time on my opposite side that I hope is referred pain, and I havent had surgery. So cant tell you how long it will last but wish you the best and hope it goes away soon. Any improvement on the operated side yet?
