This is where the sciatic nerve (and branches) follow:



It was the gludious medius, gludious minimus, and pudendal nerve branch areas that caused me the worst problems.

Cherie

ah, Gaz, my heart aches for you!

it's a &%$# being in pain, makes it hard to relate calmly to your loved ones, and hard to get through the day without SCREAMING.



wish I had some helpful suggestions...

well, maybe I do...

have you tried visiting a chiropractor yet?

when I had pain in that "area" it turned out that I had been TRYING too hard at PT, and had partially dislocated my hip joint.

the ball end had popped back into the socket, but the surrounding cartilage, tendons and muscles were swollen, sore and tender from the overuse and overextension.

ice packs, first day, then nuked wet dishtowels the next few days, alleviated substantial amounts of my pain.



to cheer you up, check out this HAIRY CHICKEN:

a poultry breeder in Hyderabad successfully crossed a Polish chicken with a Naked Neck, and the results are hysterically funny-looking!
