Any suggestions for an RN with piriformis syndrome? Does round-the-clock ibuprofen really help or is it just my imagination? I'm doing stretching exercises also, but it just won't go away. Should I get it injected?

Find a good massage therapist. Not just any massage therapist, a good one. Find one that has trained in Neuromuscular Therapy or Rolfing and has a few years experience under their belts.

nmtcenter.com has several practioners listed in PA.

I would also check out an orthopedic certified physical therapist who also does manual/massage work.

Hi,
I wholeheartedly agree. I am a pre nursing student/10 year massage therapist. I was trained by NMT Center's founder Judith Delaney. She has co-authored a 2 volume series with Dr. Leon Chaitow (DO) called Clinical Applications of Neuromuscular Therapies. A must read if you are in manual therpay or in the chronic pain business. There is no replacement for good NMT for an aching pirformis/sciatic nerve entrapment. Too bad I am in Ga. or I would help ya myself. My sympathies. It really hurts.
