I had to stop this stretch due to pain. Not so much pain in doing it, which was there, but the pain that came later in the day and night. I was in bad pain from this stretch so had to stop it per Dr Gross. So now dont really know how to stretch this piriformis. My PT lady has never had a resurfacing patient so she doesnt know why this stretch hurts so bad.
Have done 4 weeks of PT which has caused my other "good" hip to hurt too. And so far it hasnt helped this lower butt pain I have. In fact its made it a little worse with all this activity. I was hoping to talk to Dr Gross and am hoping he will call.
I have a nice standing desk now as I stand a lot. Sitting still hurts. Laying flat is ok. Really hope this butt pain goes away. I sometimes regret having this surgery. I would love to plop down in my recliner and watch football. Instead I will be standing a lot which gets really really old. Or laying flat on the floor which is better than sitting. When I do sit I find my self trying to sit to the good side, trying to keep the other butt check from experiencing much pressure. Its not a good way to live that's for sure. I never dreamed this type of pain was a possibility from this resurfacing.
