I pulled my R. glute about a month ago, at least I thought it was a pull. It still hurts. I can't sit more than 1/2 hour without it throbbing, then the throbbing starts to travel down my leg. The weird thing is, I can run just fine, in fact after a slow thorough warmup I'm running faster and stronger than ever. I ice it after a workout, but the next morning it's aching again. So anyone with any type of knowledge about this, could it be something more than a pull? It's low on the butt, about 3 inches higher than where the leg meets the butt. If anyone has any serious input, I'd appreciate. I'm sure I'll get my share of jerk off comments, but hopefully something good will get posted.

Find yourself a chiropractor. Seems like you are out of alignment. This winter, I had glut issues (one side) and after 6 sessions, I was running fine.

I actually injured it --total freak accident where my right leg slipped out from under me and I fell backwards, almost cracked my head on pavement. Terrible pain in the glute from that. Luckily nothing else was injured. I will try the chiro, but I have no knowledge of ligaments, tendons, etc and wondered if I may have torn something.

I have the same sort of thing going on right now. I've had it for about 4 months. It started out the same way. I was able to warm up and felt pretty good, but as time went by, things got worse. It now hurts pretty much anytime I run. I've got an appointment set up tomorrow to get it checked out. My self-diagnosis is Piriformis Syndrome. All the symtoms seem to be there. Just my thought.

re: Yup

sciatica. as previous poster mentioned, it is probably aggravated by a tight pirformis muscle pinching the sciatic nerve.

I would agree. I've been battling piriformis syndrome for a few weeks.

Don't want to sound like a shill, but the TP Massage Ball is the best thing I've found for PF. Just the right consistency for sitting on and deep massage of the PF trigger point.

re: JimG

since the pain is the direct result of some sort of trauma, i'm guessing that it's strained or torn and not piriformis syndrom. but, since it's in the same area, see if you can do figure 4 in here and if not, start doing the exercises listed.
