okay, I’m scared now did deadlifts last night, worked up to 445 everything felt fine but this morning I can hardly walk again. Does this warrant a trip to the hospital or should I just rest untill football wich is August 11, I honestly don’t know what to do now
Be careful. You have Piriformis Syndrome and it can become chronic. When I first got it I had to drop Squats but found I could do the Squat Sled. Then it started hurting on the sled so I dropped that. I could still run sprints so I did that… until it hurt sprinting also.
Due to my stubborness to keep working something, I eventually couldn’t even do Calfs, Extensions or Curls. For 3 years my leg workout was nothing more than going for a leisurely walk. You don’t have to beet this kid that bad so give it a break.
Forget about going to the doctor that will just be frustrating for you. The first 3 doctors won’t have a clue. When you finally find one who knows Piriformis Syndrome he will just send you to physical therapy. the Physical Therapist will proceed to overwork it and make things worse.
Check out Letsrun.com. there’s a couple threads about it on there. There seems to be two groups. Those who are helped by stretching and those who are hurt by stretching. Based on your description, I would say you are like me and stretching the Hamstrings, the Glutes or the Pirifrmis is the LASTS THING THING you want to be doing.
Be smart, don’t let this be a lifetime disability like it is for me. Good luck
I feel pain mostly in the front of my hip joint, it is very sharp when I first perform a movement with my leg but the pain resides shortly. Is this what you experienced, from what I read most people feel pain in the buttocks and down the leg. Thanks

My bad. If it’s in the front it’s not Piriformis.
