Piriformis surgery
To be honest I really do not know a lot about this surgery. I have pain and cramping in my butt and leg as symptoms. I have had this pain for at least 2 years and none of the other surgeries relieved the pain.
The surgery entails separating the gluteal muscles and removing the piriformis muscle. some surgeons just detach the muscle at one end but my surgeon believes the removal gets a better result. I think that I will be off work for 2 weeks.
