Default Iliopsaos, Piriformis, Hematoma, ADR scar?

The post ADR stenosis surgeries have greatly improved my leg pain. However if I overdo, I can still get some lingering low back, butt and leg pain. Could it be the ADR scar tissue, the hematoma from the blood clots in the iliopsoas muscle, the trigger points in the glutes/piriformis/iliopsaos?? Mostly likely YES YES YES. Or does it really matter since all could or are part of the problem. I have tried to tackle this with an all encompassing and expensive solution. I am trying trigger point massage, chiropractic, MAT next week, light stretching, acupuncture, and prolotherapy injections. I am determined to get better. Although I do get overzealous and get impatient. I am seeing results and will narrow the therapy once I start seeing the main helpers. I am even doing some acupressure on my ADR scar area (this could be pulling on my iliopsaos muslce which could be pulling on my glutes which could be pulling on my piriforms!!!). You get the picture. I am scared to do any ultrasound in this area due to my blood clots though? Anyway I am now realizing that sciatica can come in many shapes and sizes.
