Piriformis and Pudendal nerve pain

[Louise778]

Can piriformis be damaged by deep tissue massage and dry needling as I had very bad pain after getting this done a year ago, I had Pudendal nerve pain before this and had tingling in my foot but not in piriformis. Now have a numb feeling there like the muscle has become weak, have pain in buttock and leg when exercising and my foot burns a lot when I exercise or walk. Also have pain now in my right hip as my right side is taking all the pressure.

The pudendal nerve doesn't supply the foot. This sounds more like sciatica, which is often caused by nerve root compression in the spine. With these symptoms, you should be discussing with the GP for further investigation.
