A member asked:
I have had an mri scan to reveal i have osteoarthritis in my left hip.. i'm in constant pain with it, but when i stretch the piriformis, the pain goes.

Continue stretching: Arthritis can be present and not be causing pain. If you stretch and the pain goes away then that is the reason for the pain and the arthritis is just there. (well all get it sooner or later). Continue stretching.

Different pains: Oa of hip may not be source of your pain if piriformis stretches improve the condition. Sometimes muscle can get tight and feels better with local treatment, but will not get rid of oa hip pain.
