Hello everyone.Ive been having lower back pain,more on my buttocks area.the pain was shooting down to my leg.And the worst part is my right leg goes numb n i cant feel my toes.I even fell down n injured my self once.So i went to an orthopaedic surgeon.He did an mri of my lumbar and sciatic notch.It showed compression on my piriformis muscle.Now i have tried on physiotherapy excersice,traditional massage,lots of medicine , and steriod injection.My dr has advice me to go for a surgery.Has anyone here underwent a piriformis release?Im abit curious to know abt the outcome.Pls help me..do ull think i need a surgery..or is there any other alternative treatment..Tq...
