My physio has diagnosed piriformis syndrome that is pressing on the sciatic nerve. It is so painful and when I try running I can't get beyond a couple of km before the pain starts being unbearable. I've got exercises/stretches to do, but my question to people who have had the same is - how long did it take for it to get better once you started treating it?

Some of the recommendations included stretching exercises and massage therapy, which I found to be very helpful in easing my pain and discomfort.
Additionally, the article suggested avoiding activities that worsen the pain and incorporating strength training exercises to help prevent future flare-ups.
Overall, I found the information to be very helpful but it's important to note that everyone's experience with piriformis syndrome may be different. So it's important to consult with a medical professional for personalized treatment recommendations.
