10 Piriformis Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Headache and Neck Pain
A headache can be defined as pain that is felt anywhere in the neck or head. Headaches are very common and can be seen in various situations such as dehydration, hunger, infection, and heat, among others. Although it may seem unrelated, due to facilitative or compensatory mechanisms, piriformis syndrome can lead to thoracic, cervical, and lumbosacral pain.
It can also cause headaches, neck pain, and gastrointestinal disorders. Symptomatic management involves the use of pain medication such as paracetamol (acetaminophen) and NSAIDs like ibuprofen.
