Piriformis syndrome

So I went to the pain doctor today & she diagnosied me with piriformis syndrome.
Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular disorder that occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed or otherwise irritated by the piriformis muscle causing pain, tingling and numbness in the buttocks and along the path of the sciatic nerve descending down the lower thigh and into the leg.

I will start Physical Therapy on Monday afternoon. Hopefully it will improve with PT!!

Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!
