Pear-shaped muscle, treatment and symptoms of diseases

Pear-shaped muscle is attached between the large trochanter of the femur and the sacroiliac joint. It is covered by the gluteus muscle. The anatomical scheme is complicated by the fact that the pear-shaped muscle is closely connected with the sciatic nerve and the gluteal artery. In 10% the individual feature of the body is manifested in the fact that the nerve passes through the pear-shaped muscle. Therefore, any changes in this muscle tissue affect the state of the sciatic nerve or gluteal artery.

What causes inflammation of the pear-shaped muscle

Inflammation in the pear-shaped muscle is accompanied by swelling of the tissue. Increasingly, the pear-shaped muscle presses directly on the branches of the sacral nerves. Especially often, the sciatic nerve undergoes a pathological influence . The disease manifests itself in the following symptoms.

1. Patients characterize the pain in the buttock zone, like pulling and aching.
2. The pain in the region of the hip and sacroiliac joint is strengthened if one assumes standing, walking or trying to squat.
3. Taking a lying position, sitting down and spreading their legs, patients note that the pain subsides.
4. Having weakened the large gluteus muscle, the patient can detect under it a hard pear-shaped muscle, which gives pain under tension.
5. When the doctor at a diagnosis taps or presses on a surface of a leg behind, there is a pain in a pear-shaped muscle.
6. The sciatic bone hurts when it stops.
7. Inflammation of the pear-shaped muscle is often combined with the same state of the remaining muscles of the pelvic floor. In the painful process, the inner occlusal and coccygeal muscles are drawn in, as well as the anus levator. In this case, there is a syndrome of the pelvic floor.
8. There are violations in the work of sphincters, urination occurs with a short pause at the beginning.

Spasm of pear-shaped muscle with compression of sciatic nerve and vessels

• The nature of pain is dull. There are signs of defeat of the vegetative system - it's chilliness, burning and feeling of stiffness.
• The pain spreads throughout the leg, strengthening at the location of the peroneal nerve and the tibial nerve.
• Aggravation of spasm in a stressful situation and weather change.
• Sometimes the surface sensitivity or Achilles reflex is reduced.
• With tibial nerve compression, patients complain of pain localization in the hind muscles of the lower leg during walking. The assumption is confirmed by Lasang's breakdown. Pain is felt in the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.
• If the compression of the sciatic nerve occurs together with the squeezing of the lower gluteal artery, then a sharp spasm in the vessels of the foot is observed. Often the process becomes intermittent claudication. The patient often stops when walking, sits down. We even have to go to bed. The skin on the leg becomes pale. Similar seizures are repeated systematically.

This depends on the gymnastic effect of stretching exercises of the pear-shaped muscle.
