Tommorow I need to get back into my gym routine after taking a break because of a pinched sciatic nerve due to an inflamed piriformis muscle. Did you know that is the largest nerve in the body at almost 3/4" thick in some places ?
The symptoms are sore butt cheek ache and pain down the thigh and into the lower leg because the nerve is being compressed.
I found some stretches after doing some research and I think I saved myself some money and time from visiting the doc, cause the excrutiating pain is almost gone completely after 2 days of intense stretching.
Damn I should be a chiropractor !
Apparently this problem is highly misdiagnosed by most doctors so I'm double happy I figured it out myself.

I had pinched sciatic nerves in both legs really bad for a couple of years from the lyme disease (odd symptom, I know). The one thing that helped me the most was going to see an acupuncturist. Besides the acupuncture, she made me stop eating chicken. Silly, but it worked. good luck.

You should be a chiropractor, dude... would you prescribe dancing as therapy? Because if that's ever the prescription for anything, you're fucking hired.
