When Catriona threatened to complain, her dentist reluctantly agreed to do two crowns on the NHS, staggered over a period of two months. But he refused to do the third, which she eventually paid him the �400 to do privately. It would have been helpful if he'd referred me to a colleague who could have done it on the NHS instead of treating me like an annoyance, she says.

British Journal of Sports Medicine The "piriformis syndrome"- myth or reality? Link M T F Read 7 Waterden Road, Guildford, Surrey GU24 0LX, UK Keywords: piriformis syndrome; sciatic nerve; buttock; hamstring NOTE: I am not a Doctor, Please speak to your doctor regarding any nerve condition. In the above editorial,1 I noted the desire to package these rather indeterminate pains in the buttock, around the trochanter, and which can radiate to the groin or knee, as a deep gluteal syndrome. The piriformis syndrome and the hamstring syndrome, I believe exist, but in my admittedly very small experience, as they are rare, they do have a major clinical finding that differs from pain induced by the hip stabilizers. Because the sciatic nerve is involved, the straight leg raises, Laseque and Bowstring signs, which produce neural stress peripheral to the lesion, are positive, but the slump test, which moves the dura and is proximal to the lesion, is negative. Most patients diagnosed as having "piriformis syndrome" do not have these clinical findings, and their problem better fits the classification of deep gluteal syndrome. Perhaps, in fact, the deep gluteal syndrome diagnosis should be used as well as, and not inclusive of, the piriformis and hamstring syndromes. I feel the gluteals are often not involved and perhaps an even broader term such as hip stabilizer syndrome should be considered.

The paper, entitled: "Sciatica of Non-Disc Origin & Piriformis Syndrome: Diagnosis by MR Neurography and Interventional MRI with Outcome Study of Resulting Treatment" addresses the current problem of a nearly 80% failure rate for diagnosis using standard methods. The study involved 240 patients followed for up to seven years. The most common cause for sciatica in the study proved to be a diagnosis called "piriformis syndrome" - one of several disorders the investigators report on that arise due to entrapment of the sciatic nerve in the area of the hip. Currently, the report says, when a patient experiences painful persistent sciatica - pain radiating down the leg - physicians often look only for a herniated lumbar disk relying upon lumbar MRI scanning. Surgery for the disk herniation is often carried out to treat the sciatica. Most spine specialist consider piriformis syndrome to be extremely rare. However, the authors conclude that although it is rarely diagnosed, it is actually a common cause of sciatica - possibly as common as the well known herniated disk syndromes. Although 1.5 million lumbar MRI scans are carried out each year for sciatica (at a cost of about $1.5 billion), only about 300,000 (20%) reveal a herniated disk amenable to surgery. About 1/3rd of the surgeries fail to relieve the sciatica. As a consequence, about 1.2 million (80%) receive no clear diagnosis and 100,000 have spine surgery that fails. The new report includes a diagnostic efficacy study showing that MR Neurography (a new method for imaging the sciatic nerve) has a 93% specificity for identifying piriformis syndrome. Treatments involved new technology employing Open MRI real time image guidance for injection therapy as well as a new minimal access outpatient surgery technique. Good and excellent outcomes were over 80% in a group of patients that typically have extremely poor outcomes. For a copy of this breakthrough report, media can e-mail afiller@.

You will find many conflicting Doctors recovery plans because every Doctor has their own research and their own ideas on what Piriformis Syndrome is and how to treat it. Terms: The Disk: Dense tissue between the vertebrae that acts as a shock absorber and prevents damage to nerves and blood vessels along the spine. Electromyography: A medical test in which a nerve's ability to conduct an impulse is measured. Lumbosacral: Referring to the lower part of the backbone or spine. Myelography: A medical test in which a special dye is injected into a nerve to make it visible on an x ray. Piriformis: A muscle in the pelvic girdle that is closely associated with the sciatic nerve. Radiculopathy: A condition in which the spinal nerve root of a nerve has been injured or damaged. Spasm: Involuntary contraction of a muscle. Vertebrae: The component bones of the spine. Where is the Piriformis Muscle? In non medical terms, it would be the middle of the buttocks cheek, and very deep. Piriformis Syndrome: Sciatica, and Back Pain. Located deep in the hip underneath the Glutes are the 'Deep Six' lateral rotators of the leg; Gemellus Superior and Inferior, Obturator Internus and Externus, Quadratus Femoris, and last but not least, the (Piriformis). The Deep Six not only rotate and stabilize the legs, they also play an important role in pelvic balance. If one hip is tight then the pelvis will be pulled to the side and rotated causing an imbalance in the lower back. If both hips are tight then pelvic movement becomes restricted and the lower back has to contend with the torsion created. Trigger points in the Deep Six can refer pain into the legs and pelvis and can contribute to other dysfunction such as 'Restless Leg Syndrome'. One leg or both will usually be rotated outwards and the joint compressed contributing significantly to arthritic hip joints as well as problems with the knees and ankles. There are many medical ideas on what Piriformis Syndrome is and how to fix it, and it is an ongoing problem in diagnosis and agreement of treatment as you will see below. Every body is different and there can be many different variations of the problem in piriformis syndrome so treatment will have to vary per the individual case by case study. Where is the pain? If it lies deep in the buttock and follows down the leg then you may have sciatica, from a Piriformis Syndrome Condition. Link Sciatica The largest nerve in your body has a very devious twist-and when you have a pain in that nerve, it can really get around. Sciatica, pain in the sciatic nerve, can radiate from the buttocks down the back of the leg to the knee, even as far as the big toe. "People with sciatica often say their back pain is bad but their leg pain is worse," says Loren M. Fishman, M.D., a physiatrist and rehabilitation medicine specialist at Flushing Hospital Medical Center in New York City. Often the hip pain is far more severe on one side than the other. When you've got pain like that, you'll need a hands-on diagnosis before anything else, Dr. Fishman says. Once the doctor has ruled out a disk problem or fracture, he may be able to find out whether tight buttocks muscles are causing your pain by compressing the sciatic nerve. If you do have sciatica, the doctor will probably recommend a program of supervised exercises. Rashad Net University Post traumatic piriformis syndrome Link It is postulated by several investigators that sciatica may be secondary to an aberrant relationship between the piriformis muscle and the sciatic nerve. Pace and Nagle describe a diagnostic maneuver that is now referred to as Pace's sign-pain and weakness in association with resisted abduction and external rotation of the affected thigh. gluteal atrophy, depending on the duration of the condition. The piriformis syndrome is thought to occur after blunt trauma to the buttocks. A hematoma forms and scarring occurs between the sciatic nerve and the short external rotators. Patients who have a history of this type of trauma and typical findings on physical examination, and intractable pain after conservative treatment will benefit from release of the piriformis tendon and sciatic neurolysis. The authors report the operative treatment and outcome in fifteen cases of piriformis syndrome (in 14 patients) all patients had blunt trauma to the buttocks. They all underwent operative release of the piriformis tendon and sciatic neurolysis. The patients had an average delay of 32 months from the time of injury to the surgery. Intraoperative findings revealed adhesions between the piriformis muscle, the sciatic nerve, and the roof of the greater sciatic notch. At twenty-four months all patients had excellent and four good results from the surgery. All had returned to work. If conservative treatment has failed a nerve conduction test and referral to an experience hip surgeon who is familiar with the syndrome is necessary. Note: In the case of myself, and my occurrence of piriformis syndrome I sought the help of a Neurosurgeon. ============================================================================ Piriformis Muscle and Blunt Injury Adhesions Link ============================================================================ As mentioned earlier, the sciatic is not the only nerve that may get compressed in this region. Pressure may be placed on the superior gluteal nerve between the piriformis muscle and the greater sciatic notch. The piriformis muscle may also compress the inferior gluteal nerve, either with fibrous bands in the muscle or with pressure against the sacrospinous ligament. The pressure on nerves in piriformis syndrome is usually from a hypertonic piriformis muscle, but it may also occur from external pressure, such as sitting on a wallet. There are also reports of piriformis syndrome occurring from a direct blow to the buttock area, (fall injury trauma). As a result of the blunt trauma, adhesions may develop between the piriformis muscle, the sciatic nerve and the roof of the greater sciatic notch. Myofascial trigger points in the piriformis or other gluteal muscles may play an important role in piriformis syndrome. Piriformis trigger points will often perpetuate muscle tightness, leading directly to nerve compression. Trigger points in the gluteus minimus are known to reproduce "sciatica-like pain. Furthermore, sacroiliac joint dysfunction may perpetuate trigger pointymptoms and may easily be confused with nerve entrapment by the piriformis muss in the piriformis muscle and increase the likelihood of nerve compression. A sudden load placed on the sacroiliac region or the piriformis muscle - from a fall on the stairs, for example - is often the initial cause of perpetual trigger-point problems. The constant hypertonicity may then lead to nerve compression. "trigger points perpetuate muscle tightness, forcing nerve compression" ============================================================================ The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery Excellence Through Peer Review Sciatica Sciatica is a condition involving impaired movement and/or sensation in the leg, caused by damage to the sciatic nerve. Piriformis syndrome is estimated to cause 6-8% of sciatica, but is more common in the general population because it has been under diagnosed and under treated. Information about Sciatica Sciatica is a form of peripheral neuropathy. It occurs when there is damage to the sciatic nerve, located in the back of the leg. This nerve controls the muscles of the back of the knee and lower leg and provides sensation to the back of the thigh, part of the lower leg and the sole of the foot. Incomplete damage to the sciatic nerve may appear identical to damage to one of the branches of the sciatic nerve (tibial nerve dysfunction or common peroneal nerve dysfunction). A problem in a single nerve group, such as the sciatic nerve, is classified as a mononeuropathy. The usual causes are direct trauma (often due to an injection into the buttocks), prolonged external pressure on the nerve, and pressure on the nerve from nearby body structures. It can also be caused by entrapment - pressure on the nerve where it passes through a narrow structure. The damage slows or prevents conduction of impulses through the nerve. The sciatic nerve is commonly injured by fractures of the pelvis, gunshot wounds, or other trauma to the buttocks or thigh. Prolonged sitting or lying with pressure on the buttocks may also injure it. Systemic diseases, such as diabetes, can typically damage many different nerves, including the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve may also be harmed by pressure from masses such as a tumor or abscess, or by bleeding in the pelvis. In many cases, no cause can be identified. Note: A ruptured lumbar disk in the spine may cause symptoms that simulate the symptoms of sciatic nerve dysfunction. Symptoms Chronic pain may arise from more than just compression on the nerve. According to some pain researchers, physical damage to a nerve is only half of the equation. A developing theory proposes that some nerve injuries result in a release of neurotransmitters and immune system chemicals that enhance and sustain a pain message. Even after the injury has healed, or the damage has been repaired, the pain continues. Control of this abnormal type of pain is difficult. Link Diagnosis of Sciatica Before treating sciatic pain, as much information as possible is collected. The individual is asked to recount the location and nature of the pain, how long it has continued, and any accidents or unusual activities prior to its onset. This information provides clues that may point to back strain or injury to a specific location. Back pain from disk disease, piriformis syndrome, and back strain must be differentiated from more serious conditions such as cancer or infection. Lumbar stenosis, an overgrowth of the covering layers of the vertebrae that narrows the spinal canal, must also be considered. The possibility that a difference in leg lengths is causing the pain should be evaluated; the problem can be easily be treated with a foot orthotic or built-up shoe. Often, a straight-leg-raising test is done, in which the person lies face upward and the health- care provider raises the affected leg to various heights. This test pinpoints the location of the pain and may reveal whether it is caused by a disk problem. Other tests, such as having the individual rotate the hip joint, assess the hip muscles. Any pain caused by these movements may provide information about involvement of the piriformis muscle, and piriformis weakness is tested with additional leg-strength maneuvers. Further tests may be done depending on the results of the physical examination and initial pain treatment. Such tests might include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography scans (CT scans). Other tests examine the conduction of electricity through nerve tissues, and include studies of the electrical activity generated as muscles contract (electromyography), nerve conduction velocity, and evoked potential testing. A more invasive test involves injecting a contrast substance into the space between the vertebrae and making x-ray images of the spinal cord (myelography), but this procedure is usually done only if surgery is being considered. All of these tests can reveal problems with the vertebrae, the disk, or the nerve itself. If the pain is chronic and conservative treatment fails, surgery to repair a herniated disk or cut out part or all of the piriformis muscle may be suggested, particularly if there is neurological evidence of nerve or nerve-root damage. Sciatica Following a Fall 1 continued Link It is thought that acute or chronic injury causes swelling of the piriformis muscle and irritates the sciatic nerve, resulting in sciatica. Patients with an aberrant course of the nerve through the muscle are particularly predisposed to this condition. Answer: Piriformis syndrome secondary to myositis ossificans of the piriformis muscle. Discussion Piriformis syndrome is usually a diagnosis of exclusion once the more common causes of sciatica have been ruled out2. Yoeman3 is credited as being the first author to have described entrapment of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle. Freiberg and Vinke4,5 further defined the condition and described what is known as the Freiberg sign (pain caused by passive internal rotation of the extended thigh). Beaton and Anson6 described four anatomical variations in the relationship between the piriformis muscle and the sciatic nerve and implicated these variations as a cause of compression and inflammation of the sciatic nerve. The diagnosis often can be made on the basis of a careful clinical evaluation2, 7-10. Physical findings that suggest compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle include tenderness over the sciatic notch, isolated atrophy of the gluteus maximus, dysesthesia of the posterior aspect of the thigh, and tenderness of the rectal wall with or without a sausage-shaped mass that is felt laterally during a rectal examination11. Additional findings that are indicative of such compression include the Freiberg sign4,5 ============================================================================ The Piriformis Syndrome Link By September Nelson -------------------- Introduction. Not all low back, hip, and gluteal (buttock) pain are manifestations of back injury. Pain in any of these areas may indicate injury or irritation of any one of a number of muscles and nerves surrounding the low back and hip. Injury to any of these structures can result in pain and loss of function. A specific muscle that is susceptible to injury and inflammation is the piriformis muscle. Due to the location of this muscle, the sciatic nerve is often involved with piriformis problems. Pain and dysfunction resulting from piriformis injury is referred to as piriformis syndrome. The symptoms of this disorder sometimes mimic those of a bulging lumbar disc, or similar low back injury. Therefore, diagnosis of pain in the low back, gluteal, or hip region should include an evaluation of the piriformis muscle (PM), other hip musculature, and surrounding nerves. Anatomy and Function. The piriformis muscle is located deep in the gluteal region. This muscle attaches to the sacrum and the lateral portion of the upper part of the femur. It is one part of a group of muscles whose actions include abduction (moving the thigh away from the midline) and external rotation of the thigh (turning the knee and toes outward). These muscles are important in maintaining stability of the hip in all weight bearing activities. References. (1) Julsrud, M. E. (1989). Piriformis syndrome.

Katz, MD, OMD, LAC, QME Treatment of Piriformis Syndrome Pain Some of the cases termed "lower back pain" are in reality piriformis syndrome. In piriformis syndrome, the piriformis muscle gets tight (due to overstretching, trauma, prolonged bad posture, etc.) and compresses the sciatic nerve, producing numbness and pain going down the thigh and calf (UB channel). If the compression is on the inferior gluteal nerve (a branch of the sciatic nerve), the pain will be in the buttock (local symptoms).

Archaeoastronomical field survey typically involves the measurement of structural orientations (i.e., orientations along and between built structures) in relation to the visible landscape and particularly the surrounding horizon. This chapter focuses on the process of analyzing the astronomical potential of oriented structures, whether in the field or as a desktop appraisal, with the aim of establishing the archaeoastronomical "facts". It does not address questions of data selection (see instead Chap. 25, "Best Practice for Evaluating the Astronomical Significance of Archaeological Sites", 10.1007/978-1-4614-6141-8_25) or interpretation (see Chap. 24, "Nature and Analysis of Material Evidence Relevant to Archaeoastronomy", 10.1007/978-1-4614-6141-8_22). The main necessity is to determine the azimuth, horizon altitude, and declination in the direction "indicated" by any structural orientation. Normally, there are a range of possibilities, reflecting the various errors and uncertainties in estimating the intended (or, at least, the constructed) orientation, and in more formal approaches an attempt is made to assign a probability distribution extending over a spread of declinations. These probability distributions can then be cumulated in order to visualize and analyze the combined data from several orientations, so as to identify any consistent astronomical associations that can then be correlated with the declinations of particular astronomical objects or phenomena at any era in the past. The whole process raises various procedural and methodological issues and does not proceed in isolation from the consideration of corroborative data, which is essential in order to develop viable cultural interpretations.
