Noodler I have gone through numerous years of problems in my hip area, glutes, periformas, etc and every specialist you can imagine and a lot of pt. I am sorry to hear this happened to you. I think you should also strongly consider that you may have herniated a disc. And get to a Dr sooner then later. I had such extreme problems that did not manifest as back pain at all, but sciatica and very chronic tightness and pains in my hip, glute, periformis, etc and it went on for years I would see my pt who would massage the hell out of the area for some temporary relief but actually I ended up disc surgery which had to be redone 18 months later and ever since that problem is almost entirely gone now. That is exactly the kind of slip they can result in a herniated disc and sometimes it can be rectified with pt and no surgery but get on it.
