What a fantastic outpouring, Amanda, nothing can top that.
People (even family) nearly always say the same to me "how's your back?" I always say its fine, its my bum that hurts actually. Goes quite quiet then!
PN, possible entrapment at ischial spine -Dr.Natasha Curran, National Hospital for Neurology, London.
2 -Xray guided double nerve blocks -Dr.Baranowski - no relief.
TP self-massage reduced piriformis pressure on p nerve.
Dr.Greenslade/Bristol:
CT guided block (left) 16.7.12- success! Could sit without a cushion! On a brick wall!
