I've just been diagnosed with this as well. I have some spinal degeneration but nothing that would indicate the numbness and loss of reflex I'm having in my heel. My physiatrist thinks it must be piriformis.
She mentioned myofascial release therapy/massage. Anybody tried that?
I've already been through lots of PT and it seems to either not help or make it worse -- stretching in particular.
Can the sensation and reflex in my heel come back, or are they permanently gone?
The only kind of exercise I can do anymore is pool walking or aerobics. Even walking down the block is too painful. I used to walk every day, and this is very very frustrating.
