How long does it take to resolve Piriformis Syndrome?

My athletic son (I mention this b/c he's had other muscle type situations through the years) suffered with this for months and said it was the worst pain he could ever imagine. He tried all kinds of treatments with different specialists and finally found a PT who knew how to treat it. I'll have to ask him how long it took, but as I recall he had some pretty immediate relief from the intense pain and probably 4-6 months before he felt like it was resolved.

Thanks for this post Babs. I had my hip replaced in March 2025. I sleep on a very firm mattress, and some nights will have pain in my operated hip when get up, but it doesn't last.

Hip replacement is so (usually) easy to recover from, formal PT isn't required. But the surgeon should send some PT exercises to keep scar tissue from forming and to strengthen and stretch the muscles around the hip - there are more than we think.

Please let us know what your son has to say about his recovery/treatment of hip pain. And thanks!

Joe
