@DobieLover, I'm sorry you're hurting again.

It actually never fully went away. Just started to get worse the longer I was off the meloxicam.

I have a new PT order and this time my PCP gave me a 3 months supply of meloxicam.

My piriformis muscle is extremely tight and it is keeping constant pressure on the sciatic nerve which then causes inflammation in the nerve:

My L5 injury is probably healed. I can do my back exercises but they never transfer the pain from my butt to my lower back. That is a good indication the back is healed.

So we focused on the piriformis. The guy was absolutely nailing it (quite painfully) with the trigger point massage. I kept saying "you're right on it" and he finally said "I can feel it, it's extremely tight."

I now have a new batch of exercises to do at home trigger point massage and stretches to start to loosen up the muscle.

I've been suffering from this for over 5 months now.

Good morning and thanks for the coffee!
DL, I hope it helps to relieve the pain....
Clouds and snow coming in for us today. I am doing a MORF run so we can both stock up, just in case. They are saying a foot or less but I have trust issues.

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee. Another day - #12 - without sun.

C0afe good morning one and all!

Tea is ready.

Temperature is in the 50s and sunny.

Have a great day!

Pain gets old fast.

Pain gets old fast.

And 'old' gets pain fast.

 

[Ladies-Eight]

Pain gets old fast.

Boy are you right.

I have pain every time I get up.

I need to be able to get to my pain appointments instead of canceling them and moving to another day.

I have had to do this to make sure hubby gets where he needs to be.

Internet connection either doesn't work at all(or for long) or it's full force.

I know that song, for a couple decades now.
Often have to work on it.

ROFL!!
Because it doesn't matter if it was sunny or not at Phil's place,
Spring Equinox is still 6 weeks away.

Spring Equinox is still 6 weeks away.

I was just thinking that at lockup tonight. I actually ate dinner BEFORE lockup.
