For my case it is opposite, I am without pain in the back, the pain runs down my left leg from the bottom of my glute muscle all the way down my calf. A nerve is being pinched and all they are saying is that it looks ok and to take anti inflammatory predistone and lay off the gym
I'm just going to lay it down for a month and see what happens. This is actually the first time I've dropped being on to rehab an injury.
thx for the info guys
one more thing you can try is when your getting the pain in your glutes shooting down your leg, get a lacrosse ball, sit on it and move around til you hit the sore bit (when it happens you'll know). Then internally/externally rotate your hip a bunch of times (lots and lots of times). You're essentially doing a poor man's version of ART. I hope you like pain, because it'll really hurt, but what a difference it makes.
Just don't want you out the game for long big guy!
