I was recently diagnosed with piriformis syndrome. There are some old
posts out there on this topic, but I'm wondering if anybody is dealing
with it presently. If so, were you able to return to riding? How long
did recovery take? FWIW, cyclists are susceptible to this condition.
I'm concerned that I may have to stop riding.

Well, let's see . . . pain at the very top of the right hamstring,
where it connects to the gluteus, and in the gluteus. Occassionally,
the pain goes down to the mid hamstring. When I sit, it is worse, and
when I stretch the muscels, it really hurts.

The worst part is I have this fear I will have to give up bicycling.
As anybody who knows me will tell you, cycling is my passion. If I
have to quit, it will be devastating. FWIW, I should be fine, but it
may take a while.

Well, my doctor is a runner, and he had the same problem I have. He
recommended a PT who "cured" him, so I'm hoping . . .
Thanks!

I will be seeing a physical therapist on Monday. Meanwhile, I've
started doing some careful stretching, and using ice, and Ibuprofen.

Piriformis syndrome can be caused by a number of different disorders of
the Low back, hip or sacroiliac joint. In many cases it can resolve.
A temporary stop may be in order but long term most patients can return
to their normal activities. Have you tried rehabilitation? You can
also post on my website message board but it hasn't been very active
lately (aside from the porno spam that I have to keep deleting :-0
Good luck,

A friend of mine got the same diagnosis about a month ago. She's had
to stop running, which aggravates it terribly, and probably started it,
but even cycling and physio seem to be problems at the moment :-(
She may be interested in talking with you about it - I'll ask.
