Every October, as hopeful runners around New York hit their peak training for the New York City Marathon, Dr. Loren Fishman’s office becomes flooded with people complaining of sciatica.
“Sciatica” is commonly used to refer to pain along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the buttocks and down the leg. But sciatica itself is just a symptom, said Fishman, with a number of possible causes.
For most kind people in the general population who complain of sciatica pain the issue tends to be a herniated or ruptured disc. While that can also be a problem for runners, it’s much more common for pain in the lower back, buttocks, and back of the legs in a runner to be a result of piriformis syndrome, said Fishman.
A study of over two million people complaining of sciatica found that there were “as many, if not more, with piriformis syndrome as with herniated discs,” said Fishman.

The mentorship forums are an economical way to gain genuine knowledge for the undergraduate and graduate admissions most students have to take every year. As proper tuition is an expensive commodity for the normal middle-class student, they tend to use mentorship forums more often.
Here is how a good mentorship forum should be availed by you in your quest to get admission in a good international college.
The piriformis muscle is a small muscle deep in your hip that runs from the back of the pelvis to the top of the femur. It helps with hip rotation and it typically runs over or above the sciatic nerve. (In some people the nerve actually runs directly through the piriformis muscle.) The sciatic nerve is a very large, thick nerve that comes out of a bundle of nerves in the lower back and goes all the way down the leg. If the piriformis muscle becomes tightened or inflamed, it can catch or pinch the sciatic nerve—meaning your real problem is piriformis syndrome.
