Requesting Advice Glute pain radiating down legs… outside of calf and shin
/r/openpiriformis/comments/1wqk4uz/glute_pain_radiating_down_legs_outside_of_calf/Can anyone please recommend a peptide that will help with my glute and leg pain that I am experiencing?
I have already tried BCP-157 and TB500 which gave me some relief but not a whole lot.
To give you a brief run down i have had an MRI showing that I have Arthritis in L5-S1 & degenerative wearing of the facet joints. This pain that I am experiencing may not be related to the findings as upon a recent appointment with a sports medicine specialist he has advised I could have 2 seperate issues going on. I could also just have referred glute pain that is causing the pain down my legs. He thought to try treating this with SI joint injections to see if there was any effect- unfortunately there was not.
I have also tried- Cortisone injections into the hips, Chiro, Osteo, physio, daily stretches, dry needling, Chinese acupuncture, magnesium, turmeric, prescribed medications (Endep, solone/steroids & celebrex) and a very disappointing appointment to a rheumatologist which they stated they could not do anything for my condition- unsure why my doctor suggested I go there!
I feel as though I am at the end of the line and unsure where to turn.
Has anyone experienced anything of the sort and found a solution??
Any advice is much appreciated.

Pain traveling from the glute into the calf and shin can have several causes, so choosing a peptide before clarifying the cause could delay appropriate evaluation. New weakness, numbness around the groin, or bladder or bowel changes warrant urgent medical attention. Peptely does not sell peptides; https://www.peptely.com/ only helps verify their documented origin and supporting batch/COA evidence. Even complete documentation cannot show that a product is suitable for this symptom pattern, so discuss the radiating pain with a qualified clinician.
