To find an experimentâs dependent variable, you only need ask what the hypothesis is about. For example, an experiment testing the hypothesis âfertilizer A will increase the growth rate of sunflowersâ is primarily interested in the effect on different growth rates, making âgrowth rateâ the dependent variable.
Re: Piriformis causing foot and calf pain? YES!!!!!!!! When I started reading your post yesterday, piriformis was my first thought - not a slipped disc or anything like that. Beleive it or not, injuring or basically aggravating the piriformis can affect you in so many ways.
Like I said earlier, piriformis syndrome is caused by a short, tight piriformis muscle. This increase in girth and tension can compromise the sciatic nerve by squeezing or pinching it, leading to inflammation of the nerve and a subsequent case of pain, numbness and tingling down the leg on side of the affected muscle.hat I will discuss in this article are the causes of piriformis syndrome, a few home remedies that can relieve your immediate pain and discomfort, and how a good sports chiropractor would treat your low back, hip and buttock pain caused by piriformis syndrome.
