Two 7 mile loops from work. Piriformis sore, may need a day or two off. Basically it hurts both sides now, worse on the left. There doesn't seem to be any lack of flexibility or r.o.m in my pelvis, hips hamstrings or hip flexors. I get most relief from massage, it seams to ease the pain considerably for 30-40 min. I don't know if its something to run through, sounds stupid but running is actually no more painful than walking. The classic piriformis stretch is no harder than you would expect without injury. The whole area feels fairly loose. Hip abductor and adductor muscles seem fairly well balanced. I.T.B Strength Is slightly weaker on the left but still able to do 3x20 lifts on both sides. lunges are also a little more painful on the left,but R.O.M does seem normal. Any Ideas?????
