More pain
Went to see PT, gave me exercises to do which only makes things worse. I think this is stress related. Yes, it's the piniformas muscle. I asked the doctor for something to get me through the acute phase of this...I didn't ask for anything specific so she wants me to take prednisone. I know this will most likely knock it out but prednisone makes me crazy and gives me insommnia but I have to do it. It's amazing how stress can mess up my back.
