    Brief Medical History Overview

    Help! Ligament damage, Sciatica or Piriformis?

    I'm 30yr old male i used to work out {mainly jog, doing sit ups and stretch} daily, played tennis twice a week. After an uphill (very steep hill) contest, pain started immediately in my lower back. I think I either twisted or tore something not sure. It has now been 2 years, no major changes for better or worse. The back pain is no more.
    The nature of my work is such that i sit on a computer all day...)

    The pain is localized around my lower left butt, towards the hip area-near the joints (PHOTO ATTACHED) Pain is felt mainly when I bend to touch my toe, when doing a humstring stretch, bend or do the piriformis stretch, or the piriformis nerve floss-PAIN IS MOST EVIDENT WITH THIS.
    My lower back seems ok, though oddly I have no problem sitting just discomfort after sitting for long hours-not pain. No pain when sleeping, driving, walking and almost all other activities.
    Pretty much normal till I stretch. When lying on my back and I raise my leg up when it get to like 60 degrees, that’s when I start to feel the pain.

    I’ve seen a Chiro who treated my lower back, and iasked me to do some exercises. I can not really say I feel much different.
