Rob,
I am 1 month post op for bilateral piriformis release surgery however they didn't remove the muscle they cleared the entrapments. My right side has a large softball size numb region that tingles on the outer edge and this happened after my surgery. My doctor says it should heal with time so perhaps this is a common occurrence?

6 month piriformis surgery update
The piriformis surgery that completely removed the muscle has been somewhat successful. It rid me of most of the terrible cramping and pain. However, I have numbness in my butt and all the way down the back of my thigh that was not there before surgery. I also have a lot ot tightness in my butt and leg still though better that before.

Rob,
Some good news along with a little bad, sounds like a typical recovery. Glad that most of your pain is gone. The numbness and tightness may just be a part of the healing process. What does your doctor say about them? Please keep us posted as you continue to heal. My best to you, Dale

You know how doctors are. The surgeon says the numbness will go away with time but the pain management says it is here to stay.
