I'd always heard the horror stories of the pain associated with pinning glutes and hitting on/near the sciatic nerve. Well, after years of doing this, I finally get to see first hand. Pinned Thursday morning and thought it was bizness as usual, although I did feel a slight zing when I had the pin buried but I didn't really think much of it. It didn't really hurt, just a bit of the ol' electric zap. So I pushed the 5ml of oil in and went to the gym. Later that day I could feel a golfball in there and could def feel it pushing on the nerve. For the past 2 days I have been limping and can barely put my socks on! Took this morning off from the gym to see if a little rest will help it subside. It's very painful to bend over or lay on and last night I had a terrible time trying to find a position to sleep in.
Anybody have any advice for easing the /pain/soreness or speeding recovery? I already know what I did wrong when I pinned so we can forego all that feedback, thank you!
