Hip, hamstring pain - PLEASE HELP ME

[Stargazer]

I read on wikipedia, about piriformis syndrome, and it kind of sounds so similar to everything I have been through

Yea this is pretty much what i expected the problem to be after you did the first 2 tests - doesnt necessairily have to be piriformis, it can be any transversal pelvic muscle/small or medium gluteal muscle as they are all very close to nerves. And they can all be affected in similar ways.

I`m glad to hear that stretching helps you and you should continue doing it if it continues reducing your symptoms! Watched the pm you sent me,it is definitely a good way to stretch your transversal pelvic muscles.



As for the 3*50 squats - please dont take things i say out of context. I didnt suggest you do this (although i would suggest doing squats to everyone who wants to exercise for a healthy lifestyle in general - just make sure you have decent technique) i wanted to clarify that doing a big set of squats isnt bad for your muscles as opposed to putting constant stretch or constant weak contraction on a muscle.
Here`s the exact quote concerning the 3*50 squats:

Also try to check your daily life for situations which cause excess stress on the aforementioned muscles and avoid those - excess stress means permanent stretch/permanent (even if weak) contraction. 3*50 squats every three days are not excess stress.

Are there any other things I could try?

Nothing else comes to mind that i havent said before in previous posts

thank you very much for your time and consideration

Glad if i could help you - hope you get well soon.
