[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 582018, member: 3419"] Ouch. I'm sorry! I feel your pain ... particularly since I've had a pulled hamstring and sciatica for 3 yrs. I agree about the chiro and massage therapist; do it right away. Interestingly, the massage therapist found the exact spot on my rear where I was convinced my piriformis syndrome was coming from, and when I showed my husband/chiro, he said, "That's not your piriformis, it's the origin of your hamstring." (IOW, where it attaches to the bone.) You need to find out whether you pulled a muscle and caused the nerve to go wiggy, or whether you have an SI joint issue or something. It can make a huge difference in the type of therapy you get. Also, I would ice for the few couple of weeks, and use heat later, when it's chronic. Not to scare you, just saying "if" it gets chronic. I can't tell you how many times I asked husband "Is it okay if I do this/that/the other exercize?" and he said, "If it hurts, don't do it." Grrr. I wanted to know BEFORE I hurt. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
