Hi,

I'm hoping someone can give me some suggestions and/or help with the following.

I had surgery to remove my 1st rib June 2010. I was in hospital for 6 days, in a L position in the concrete like bed. A few days after my surgery, my left butt was going extremely numb, this got worse and worse to the point that I was standing next to my bed for most of the time and could hardly sleep. There was/is no visible pressure sore, etc.

Almost 4months later and I still have this numbness, its not as bad, but I cannot sit for any period of time without having this numbness come back. As I even type this now I'm squatting at my desk at work!! This is almost worse than the condition with my arm!

It sounds like piriformis syndrome and I've been doing the common stretches for it, but other than feeling the stretch, the issue has not gone away.

Im currently awaiting Xray results and then Im sure I'll be sent for CT once they come back normal.

Is this something that can be fixed? Its really annoying and limiting.

Thanks
