Started physical therapy back up again today. This time, we\’re focusing on my piriformis, the deep muscle in the ass that works with the hip rotator.

This is what part of my treatment looks like:

I can\’t sit down now. It feels like I have a band of hot water embedded in my leg, running from my ass all the way down into my knee. Hooray for modern medicine! If this goes like the last four stints in PT went, the initial severe pain is a good thing. It\’ll start backing off in about a week or two.
