What have you been able to do for the OI muscle to get it to come out of a spasm on your non surgical hip?

I have the exact same question! It doesn’t want to calm down!

I used a TENS unit but it didn't help until the nerve pain started to subside a bit after PNE release surgery.

Jaxi,

Have you tried Botox into the muscle to see if that helps?

Jaxi,

I don't know if you have any limitations from surgery but hip flexor and hip opening stretches seem to have helped me. I can't really explain why, maybe they loosen the obturator internus muscle? Botox into my pelvic muscles didn't help me either. I don't know when you last had Botox, but I have heard that in recent years the doctors inject a lot more into each muscle than years ago. I haven't had it since 2006 and if i worsen again, I will consider trying it as I have been in touch with at least one person who didn't have success years ago with it but has had recent success.

I am sorry Botox made you worse. I know you have been through so much with this condition.
