Piriformis Syndrome
I do yoga on regular basis. Firstly I started getting trouble in my right leg while getting up or I was uncomfortable in sitting on 2 wheeler. Then the pain started traveling in upward direction and reached in hip area and near toh hip joint. I consulted a doc and got a 10 sessions done. I was given the treatment of DRY NEEDLING as well. Hip problem was gone but there was still some issue in the hamstrings. But now when I resumed yoga again I am getting the pain back near my hip joint. I don't understand why it is coming back. Isn't there any permanent solution to it?

You can do home exercises as mentioned below and also need to get massage and dry needling to get rif of piriformis. ching the piriformis muscle, treat the same location with hot packs or cold spray for 10 minutes. The use of hot and cold before stretching is very useful to decrease pain. After that, begin with stretching of the piriformis which can be executed in a variety of ways. Stretch the piriformis muscle by applying manual pressure to the muscle’s inferior border. It is important not to press downward, rather directing pressure tangentially, toward the ipsilateral shoulder. When pressing downward, the sciatic nerve will compress against the tendinous edge of the gemellus superior. However, when applying tangential pressure, the muscle’s grip will weaken on the nerve and relieve the pain of the syndrome. Another way to stretch this muscle is in the FAIR position. The patient lies in a supine position with the hip flexed, adducted and internally rotated. Then the patient brings his foot of the involved side across and over the knee of the uninvolved leg. We can enhance the stretch, by letting the physical therapist perform a muscle–energy technique. This technique involves the patient abducting his limb against light resistance, which is provided by the therapist for 5-7 seconds, with 5-7 repetitions. After stretching, continue with myofascial release at the lumbosacral paraspinal muscles and McKenzie exercises. When the patient lies in the FAIR position, the lumbosacral corset can be used PS is caused when the tight piriformis is forced to do the work of other large muscles (like the gluteus maximus, the gluteus medius), An alternative treatment, approach for piriformis syndrome using a hip muscle strengthening program especially of the weak gluteal musculature with movement re-education can help in p Avoid sitting for a long period; stand and walk every 20 minutes, Make frequent stops when driving to stand and stretch. Prevent trauma to the gluteal region and avoid further offending activities. Daily stretching is recommended to avoid the recurrence of the piriformis syndrome. Exercises Rolling side to side with flexion and extension of the knees while lying on each side Rotate side to side while standing with the arms relaxed for 1 minute every few hours Take a warm bath Lie flat on the back and raise the hips with your hands and pedal with the legs like you are riding a bicycle. Knee bends, with as many as 6 repetitions every few hours

Hello Mam, Yoga is always good for health but what kind of yoga you are following that you have not mentioned. So once that is clear than you can get the exact answer that why it has reoccurred. Second thing is in physiotherapy for such pain there is something called Manual therapy where therapist helps you to correct the pain cause and that is very important part of treatment in any joint pain. Thank you.
