First one literally bruised and swelled, a lot... and I had to continue myofascial release therapy on the hip. the nice whirlpool they have kept me going. They have a jet that will knock you off the bench.

I also used Lidoderm 5% transdermal patches. If you numb me, I'll sit. That helped tremendously, other areas too. They have Flector patches now that have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory in it. Won't bother your stomach.

I also used over-sized tennis balls, and "Miracle Balls," and a Theracane. I'm not sure what all that was about but I was diagnosed with sciatica and I had pain down my left --NOT LEFT -- RIGHT leg, pretty bad for years and years and years and years............

More recently I've been using LED and infrared therapy that has helped me tremendously.

If you want to PM me to get more details about any of the things I've tried, I'll gladly help you.

Oh, BTW, first therapist's approach was way too gentle to fix my hip.

Celebrex helped too -- and needed to take Nexium 20 minutes prior to Celebrex.

Sleeping with pillows between your legs if you sleep on your side or under your knees if you sleep on your back. Takes the pressures of your back and hips. They also have big wedges that work great. They use them during MRIs or PT has those. Also did mechanical traction, stretches, yoga, and probably lots more... It makes you very irritable.
After 9 years and rolling, I have to say that's not much of a problem now for me, nor the leg pain either.
