Two Years Later...

Piriformis Syndrome:
I got a couple more Botox injections after Baby was born.  Since then, for the last year and a half, I've focused on strengthening through PT.  I am at the point now where I do exercise classes three times per week at the gym, albeit with very weenie weights.  But I definitely notice that if I don't exercise regularly, the piriformis spasms increase dramatically.

Hip:
The Catch-22 is that my exercise classes (squats, lunges, leg extensions) all aggravate my right hip (I am right-sided iFuse).  I have had this hip pain since Baby's birth.  I did not have this hip pain before my pregnancy with her.  My MRA revealed a labral tear in my hip.  I am managing the pain and modifying exercises to see if I can avoid surgery.  I have also asked my orthopedic surgeon his opinion on PRP (platelet-rich plasma therapy). 

SI Joints:
No pain
