As Sally said, you might have sciatica. I do, and if I am not
careful about posture I get an awful pain in the but.

I have a weird symptom. At night, while sleeping, I wake up with
the hip I’m laying on hurting. So, I turn over and fall back
asleep until THAT hip wakes me up from pain. If it hasn’t been
enough time for the first side to stop hurting, I just have to lay
on my back until I fall asleep. It’s really strange. My hips
don’t hurt unless I’m sleeping on them.

Subject: [TMIC] hip pain
For about 3 weeks I've had severe pain in my left hip (what used to
be my good leg). I've had pain for a long time, but I figured it
was from putting my weight on my 'good leg' since the leg that was
originally paralyzed still had a lot of numbness and
'malfunction'. But for the last 3 weeks its so bad that I
sometimes can't sleep and can't stand to sit for more than a few
seconds. Staying on my feet is okay, but tiring. Laying on my
stomach with ice on my hip is the best, but not like I can't still
feel the pain. Laying on my back sometimes still hurts that hip,
but sometimes its okay.
Some professionals are saying Sciatica, but the recent MRI showed
no nerve was pinched in my spine. Piriformis Syndrome is a
condition where the piriformis muscle is maybe inflamed and
pressing on the sciatic nerve so that it feels like sciatica, and
that could be the case. However, the physiatrist who's supposed to
diagnose this is busy until almost mid-July. In the meantime, I
can't even go to my PT (and I was really making progress!) b/c
sitting in the Handi Van or even the car is too extremely painful.
Has anyone had any experiences that relate to this? I'm open to
suggestions here.
Thanks,
Sally
