Piriforma

[Guest guest]

Hey Gang, Larry Maske, who frequently posts to this list is bedridden with a

broken vertebrae and something called Piriforma syndrome. The latter is where

the piriforma muscle wraps around the sciatic nerve causing severe pain. Has

anyone ever heard of this condition or had it? His docs say it is from his

massive (about 240 pounds) weight loss. He may need a nerve block to relieve

the pain. Let me know if you've heard of this. Larry isn't posting much

because he can't sit at the computer because of the pain. I'll pass on your

comments and good wishes.

My brother is a Dean at a chiropractic college in

Denver. He is acquainted with good chiropractors all

over too. Let us know what area Larry lives in.
