Piriformis syndrome and SI dysfunction
Does Botox help this piriformis? Does it worsen the vagjnal pain or increase the pelvic floor tension in compensation? Where can I put the tens machine? Had back pain years and buttock pain is worse! pGAD too! Need to try to help some of the pain. My piriformis and hips are so sore and tight they feel like bone! I can hardly stretch them been trying to stretch for months no help! Could it have caused the pudendal pain? I want Botox but where and how?

Hello...I'm not able to explain about the botox, just that since I had mild muscle spasms, I was not a candidate. Dr. Hibner, of Phoenix, seems to use botox treatments a lot.It was one of the first things he discussed with me when I saw him. He also prescirbed a suppository of baclofen and valium to help the spasms.

Melanie, you can read my description of TENS unit for piriformis syndrome here. http://www.pudendalhope.info/forum/view ... =32&t=4015
This worked very well for piriformis pain after PNE surgery. I don't know if it would have helped if the nerve hadn't been released. I haven't tried Botox so can't comment on how well it works.

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
