Hip/Back and sciatic pain

[Rusty83]

Help! I have been experiencing hip, back and sciatic pain for almost a year. During that time I have seen 2 physios with varying degree of success. The pain seemed to come on gradually with no trigger and no amount of stretching and rest seemed to help. At one point the pain was so bad in the morning that it felt like my entire hip was seazed up!

The pain has come and gone, most recently I was pain free for 5 months until a week ago when it seemed to be aggrevated after doing deadlifts. These were not overly heavy and the pain in this case is mostly in the glute and calf and is managable. Also the pain is completely relieved when I sit or lie down, its only when standing and walking it gets gradually worse. Also if I bend foward or squat it is fully relieved, almost as if the nerve is being pinched while im standing. Also if Im lying down and move into a glute bridge the pain occurs.

Physio does myofacial release of the psoas, also has tried accupuncture of the glutes and piriformis with little success.

The physio doesnt really know whats wrong, he has completely ruled out disc herniation and wants me to continue with my training regime. I am 30, very fit and healthy but do have a desk job where i sit 7-8 hours a day.

I engage in regular intense exercise in the form of strength training, crossfit and general cardio conditioning. I also foam roll and stretch daily and adhere to proper form in all exercises.

I am a post-graduate spine specialist in the USA, certified by a group from your land. If you have not seen a certified McKenzie therapist(Mechanical Diagnosis & Treatment of the spine) I would seek one out. You can find them worldwide by going on their website McKenzieMDT.org, choose your country, & locale in that country.
My problem with what you relayed is that if the therapist doesn't know hat it is then I would have a hard time believing he knows what it isn't. Some discs do not respond to treatment even tho they are the culprit. A torn annulus will not respond.

There are too many questions to ask to f/u on your clues. If 1 movement abolishes Sx's temporarily then I would have you do many and see if it relieves it for prolonged periods or holding knees to chest for a period of time
