Sometimes if the PT or the Doc deems it medically necessary, they can extend the PT. It sounds like you can use a little more so maybe give it a go. Your insurance company can possibly be persuaded. . When do you go back to work?
I actually forgot the name of what the PT used, some sort of sonic massage machine on the piriformis which helped too. I miss PT for now but hopefully soon. It's only been two weeks and except for the pin feeling stabbing my butt I am doing really well. My feet will be next week so I am really a basket case for now. This is the summer of procedures and the last procedure I will tackle before next year.
I am happy for you, you have a great attitude and that is most important. If you are out of your brace you have more control over the stomach muscles (not sure where you are with that), you have probably weaned out by now. I was told to practice tightening the core stomach muscles without tightening the piriformis.
Keep up the great work and spirit too.
