I did pt, dry needling, anti inflammatories of all types, MRI of lumbar spine, ice, heat, sitting pillows, rest, increased exercise activity, neuromuscular specialist, orthopedic surgeon, massage, lidocaine parches……nothing worked. The pain specialist knew right away what it was. The first injection eliminated the pain completely for 6 hours then gradually came back over a month. Second injection worked three weeks. Third injection has lasted. My pain was directly in my butt, low, right where the butt meets the leg. It was bad. I couldn’t ever get comfortable. Now i can!!!
