I can\u2019t say that is exactly pain-free, but I\u2019ve learned the important concept of \u201ccentralization\u201d in my reading about this: when you have sciatica, the pain originates somewhere and then refers down the leg. In my case this central point of origination is the center of my hip, probably the <a href=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/2020\/12\/13\/dealing-with-a-bit-of-sciatica\/\">piriformis<\/a> muscle. It\u2019s ok if you feel pain in the central area while doing PT, but it should not make the referral down the leg worse, because that would mean the sciatica nerve is getting compressed by the exercise. I\u2019ve been doing well the last week or so following that principle.<\/p>\n<p>I had to get an MRI of my pelvis because I\u2019ll be visiting an orthopedic specialist the in a week. That turned out to be painful. For some reason it still hurts to lay on my back for an extended time, even with a pillow under my knees. But the useful information from this is that the pain was clearly originating from my left <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradopaincare.com\/what-is-si-dysfunction-and-how-can-it-be-treated\/\">SI joint<\/a>. Up till now I\u2019d been assuming I just had piriformis syndrome (now also known as deep gluteal pain). If my SI joint is also inflamed there are additional PT exercises I should be doing. So I\u2019ve added those which hopefully will help. I\u2019ve also carefully started adding strengthening exercises, such as glute bridges and clamshells with bands, which is critical long-term for strengthening the piriformis muscle and stabilizing the SI joint.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12189\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/2024\/10\/28\/on-the-mend-again\/image-305\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-11.png\" data-orig-size=\"1089,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-11.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-11.png?w=1024\" width=\"1024\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-11.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12189\"\/><\/figure>\n<div id=\"jp-post-flair\" class=\"sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sd-content\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-linkedin\"\/>\n<li class=\"share-facebook\"\/>\n<li class=\"share-pinterest\">\n<div class=\"pinterest_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbionicoldguy.home.blog%2F2024%2F10%2F28%2Fon-the-mend-again%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fbionicoldguy.home.blog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F10%2Fimage-11.png&amp;description=On%20The%20Mend%20Again\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"\/><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- .entry-footer --><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-author-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"entry-author author-avatar-show\">\n<div class=\"author-avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=80&amp;d=&amp;r=G\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=80&amp;d=&amp;r=G 1x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=120&amp;d=&amp;r=G 1.5x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=160&amp;d=&amp;r=G 2x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=240&amp;d=&amp;r=G 3x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=320&amp;d=&amp;r=G 4x\" class=\"avatar avatar-80\" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!-- .author-avatar --><\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"author-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\tPublished by <span class=\"author-name\">BionicOldGuy<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- .author-heading --><\/p>\n<p class=\"author-bio\">\n\t\t\t\tI am a Mechanical Engineer born in 1953, Ph.
