Piri Pain

A few days ago, I really strained my piriformis while doing laundry.  Not sure how, just by bending over the wrong way.  Thankfully, I have a support group of SIJD ladies who talked me through it, since I can't do most of my piriformis PT - it requires me to be on my back, and I just can't be on my back right now and also be able to breathe.  So the regimen was ice, TENS, tylenol, seated figure 4 stretch, and rest.  I was back to "normal" in a couple days.  My "normal" isn't perfect, but at least I could walk again.
