[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 345769, member: 1991"] What i was trying to say - there can be many reasons for sciatic pain, and bursitis is one probability (given you know you already have it). The ultrasound confirmed it but of course wouldn't necessarily be able to show the actual compression on the sciatic. But for me, the physio is helping ALL the pain, including the sciatic pressure. I was initially seeing a chiropractor, but what he was doing (although good) was likely to be working in direct opposition to what the physio was doing, so I figured - only one modality at a time. The physio has been trying to get my body 'learning' to work those muscles inside the joint, to pull the head of the femur back into position, while the chiropractor was applying traction to get the femur head off the sciatic. From what I can work out in my case (and possibly yours) - the inflammation and swelling in the hip is what is putting pressure on the sciatic nerve, at the point where it passes round behind the hip joint. So if you can reduce the swelling in the joint, that should reduce the pressure on the sciatic. You get stuck in a Catch 22 loop - the more inflammation, the more pain, the more you have problems which aggravate the inflammation and swelling and the more pain you are in. It all escalates. I hope you get some relief for your pain soon. Marg [/QUOTE]
