3. Pain walking upstairs.
One of the most common symptoms of Piriformis Syndrome is a pain walking upstairs. Patients often report feeling mild to utter pain when they’re walking up inclines or stairs.
There are various ways you can calm down the pain if you are supposed to walk upstairs every day. The way you climb upstairs should be changed. Try doing things like placing your foot on the next step before you climb up to the next step. Try not to lead with your foot, but instead your body. Not only that, but you may also want to try aligning your knee with your second toe.
The reason you may experience pain when walking upstairs is due to the pressure on the knees. When a person climbs up the stairs, the pressure is on their lower legs. That’s why it hurts when you walk upstairs.
