I think I pulled my sciatic/periformus thing

[Anonymous]

with my last leg workout. Should I

Keep walking/jogging on treadmill?
Continue leg workouts?
Or stop until it heals?

Is the performs, you need an elbow, fist or at least a tennis ball to treat it. Just get the thing to rub around in small circles and get bigger. I found husbands elbow after bath almost as good as the PT. Good luck! It’s a hard one to self heal.

I did this LY and kept stretching/doing light exercise thinking it would help. I ended up bedridden in even more pain. Soo I would say to take it easy and not aggravate it. Dr said sciatica, massage therapist said piriformis, not sure which it actually was, so yours may be different.

Go to a good physical therapist. You'' likely need a combo of stretching, massage and strength exercises.

At minimum, YouTube stretches.

Most likely this is related to a herniated disc in your lower back. I say this from experience. Even if you are feeling no pain in your back. The pain in your piriformis is from a nerve connected to one of your lower back discs. You should lay off the exercise for now. Do back extension stretches. Look up McKenzie Program.
