I know that pain very well. I would get it looked at. If caught early, you will be great in just a few weeks. If left alone, the problem can get bad. Good luck!!! Ice is always a good thing and working on abs always helps. Ugh. I know that pain very well. I would get it looked at. If caught early, you will be great in just a few weeks.

For me, stretching is not a help. Using the Stick or a roller is much more effective on my injuries. When my hip was killing me a couple years ago, I had a chiro do Active Release Technique on me. It seemed to help and I haven't had a hip injury since. And endurance athlete's philosophy should be to get to the start line healthy. Your first start line is the start of training so taking some easy time now is totally going to pay off! I agree with the Zipster – stop stretching it. For me, stretching is not a help.

I would recommend that you stop trying to stretch it. Also avoid sitting as much as possible. Both are weird recommendations, I know, but I think it helps. Maybe a little foam rolling on the butt area, but don't overdo that either. You might want to try looking at a video on this site on pirformis syndrome: www.sock-doc.com Good luck with it!
