Molly, you can read a description of electrode placement that worked for me for the obturator internus and piriformis.

Violet - Earlier in this thread you wrote:
"I wasn't able to tolerate PT until about a year after surgery but I think most PNE docs would advise having it sooner than that. I found it somewhat helpful -- especially in relieving the piriformis pain that had developed as a result of PNE. They showed me how to use a TENS unit for piriformis pain and obturator internus pain and if was very effective."
My question is what was it about the PNE that caused piriformis pain to develop?

I can't say for sure but it just seemed like more muscles went into spasm as the PNE pain progressed and then as the PNE pain subsided after surgery the muscles slowly relaxed again. I don't think I can described the mechanism of how it happened -- just that it did.

I am now five months post op after decompression surgery with Dr Tibet.
In the last couple of weeks I have started to feel a slight improvement, fingers crossed that it lasts.
I am going to have a few physio sessions wit a good pn aware physio, and Iwas wondering if anybody who has been down this route, could tell me what they found helpful or unhelpful.
Having made a small amount of improvement I am very wary of not going backwards.
Thanks for any help.
Molly
