Fish oil is one of the most commonly consumed dietary supplements. It's rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are very important for your health. If you don't eat a lot of oily fish, taking a fish oil supplement could help you get enough omega-3 fatty acids. Here is an evidence-based guide to fish oil supplements and their health benefits.
Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular condition characterized by hip and buttock pain. This syndrome is often overlooked in clinical settings because its presentation may be similar to that of lumbar radiculopathy, primary sacral dysfunction, or innominate dysfunction.
The piriformis is a small muscle in the buttock that stabilizes the sacroiliac joint. When irritated, it causes pain in the buttock. The piriformis muscle happens to overlap the sciatic nerve and can also cause sciatic pain down the leg all the way to the foot.uring the exam, the doctor may try to determine if the sacroiliac joint is the cause of pain by moving the joint. If the movement recreates the patientâs pain, and no other cause of pain has been found (such as a disc herniation on an MRI scan), the sacroiliac joint may be the cause of the pain.
