Whoa, Piriformis!
Posted in ashtanga yoga, dog! on 08/20/2008 10:47 am by karenOnce again, I turn to the cybershala and ask you to share your pain. Looking for stories re: piriformis misery (and, hopefully, eventual recovery). I noticed pulling/pain in a baddha konasana adjustment last week, and now the right piriformis is hurting like a mofo in baddha k.
Am I supposed to stop baddha k’ing? Scream during adjustments? Accept the adjustment and cry silently on my mat?
I know to roll on a tennis ball, and figure ice & ibuprofen are in order. Any other suggestions?

And in news of other painful discoveries, Tyler loves silk. Specifically my silk robe. It has delightful sleeves that catch his attention, and a silky mouthfeel, and, of course, a nice chewy arm flesh center that elicits exciting Mom-scream sound effects.
