Have piriformis issues.saw pt who said there was a knot in it.he worked it out and i feel better, but now i worry it was a tumor and he smooshed it?

No worries: A tumor is typcally a solid mass of tissue. It couldn't be broken up by someone massaging or manipulating it. For a young healthy person having a tumor in muscle is very unusual. You shouldn't worry about that, but if you want reassurance a doctor can do simple blood tests and imaging studies that would rule out a tumor.

Left inner calf muscle atrophy. Noticed about 2 years ago that it was smaller and a little weaker. After a minor calf muscle tear now it's like it's completely gone. It doesn't even respond to TENS / EMS stimulation. I think piriformis syndrome..?
