I Have No Health Insurance And In Desperate Need Of Pain Medicine, Where Would I Be Able To Go?
I have hurt my back causing piriformis syndrome (muscle below the gluteus maximus), pain in the lliotibial band (muscle that runs along the hip down the leg) and sciatica pain. I have been taking 5/ 200mg motrin every 3 to 4 hours for nearly a week now. Sometimes it just disappears, but since yesterday morning, the pain has not subsided. I can barely walk on this leg and get in the car to drive to the doctor. I am aware of this pain on my right side since 1994 from exercise over usage, but this pain is relentless.

I Need A Cure For Piriformis Syndrome Which Cause Sciatica, Or A Way To Manage It?
I have dealt with Piriformis Syndrome for 3 years. I found out that I was born with a disability, in which my piriformis muscle was deformed and my sciatic nerve was going through it. The piriformis muscle is deep in the buttocks. The deformity causes severe Sciatica. I have tried everything, medications, PT, Accupuncture, Chiro, and as a last resort I’ve had 3 hip surgeries. My doctor (chief of orthopaedics at Kaiser) has released me saying there’s nothing else they can do. So I try to deal. I have a very sensitive system and can’t tolerate anything stonger than tylenol. So I usually just hurt terribly. It hurts to sit, walk, and stand. If I’m not active during the day it’s manageable. But I’m a single mom to a 6 year ancient. So that’s impossible. I have to be active and then the limping stars, and sometimes my legs give out. I’m at my wits end. I’m only 27. I’d like to feel normal. Can anyone recommend anything for me? I’d be forever greatful. Even just someone who understands…
