These issues are so difficult diagnose. It could be due SI joint, hip, various SI ligaments, various muscle dysfunction (of which piriformis is included). Many have similar symptoms and many are the cause or symptom of the other. All of a sudden I have SI joint or pirifirmis on my opposite sie. It is all very complicated but get agood pain managment person and they can really help to figure it out.
Ans - it is a little early to make any rash judegments re my surgery but I do not anticipate any significant loss in strength or flexibility in the long term.
