Reading a book for triathletes and the most common Triathlon injuries, I read some common injuries but just identified two as a possible causes for my injury: Piriformis Syndrome and the most famous in all triathletes,  runners, swimmers and cyclists: The Tendonitis and Bursitis.

Reading in more details, I believe that I have the piriformis syndrome, because I already had this pain 4 years ago with the same pain and place. The biggest problem is that the pain can probabily disapear after some weeks, months or just didn’t. So, if you have something like this, go to the doctor and take care. I already take a X-Ray but it’s ok. Now, this weekend I should do a Magnetic Resonance to compare if could be a tendonitis/bursitis, a Piriformis Syndrome or any other injury.

Here is a list of another injuries that the book Going Long explore:

• Anchilles Tendonitis
• Ankle Sprains
• Chondromalacia Patella (Runner’s Knee)
• Compartment Syndrome
• Hamstring Strain
• Heel Spurs and Plantar Fascitis
• Iliotibial Band Syndrome
• Metarsalgia and Morton’s Neuroma
• Piriformis Syndrome – That I talked today
• Shin Splints
• Stress Fractures
• Swimmer’s Shoulder
• Tendonitis and Bursitis – That I also talked today
