[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in PT for this also. My therapist thinks it’s related to a back twist caused by crossing my legs when I sit, which I’ve done for 45 years. The twist pinched a nerve, which weakened the glut muscles on that side over time and referred pain to the piriformis. Honestly, it sounds so complicated I’m not sure I buy it but I’m desperate so giving this a try. Lacrosse ball, foam roller, glut and hip strengthening, deep back massage, and never ever crossing my legs. That’s the hardest part. But so far so good![/quote]

OP here. I've been wracking my brain as to what would have caused this...but I think it could definitely be the same cause as yours. This is definitely the side I cross my leg on most, and I'm wondering if it didn't come about because I started going back into the office full time this summer.  After 3 years of working from home in a much more informal setting, maybe sitting with my leg crossed caused this.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions re: stretching. The figure 4 on my back seems to be helping - I'm trying to do it for 3 1 minute sessions each morning and night. Fingers crossed.[/quote]
