Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a diagnosis Do physical therapy. Consider alternative therapies. Talk to your doctor about medications. Ask your doctor about injections. Consider electrotherapy. Discuss surgery with your doctor as a last resort.

Answer: . Getting a diagnosis is the first step in treating any condition. There are no tests to confirm whether or not you have piriformis syndrome, so your doctor will perform a physical exam and ask you to explain all of your symptoms. Your doctor may also want you to have an MRI to rule out any other possible causes of your symptoms. A physical therapist can design a program developed to meet your specific needs and guide you through exercises that will efficiently stretch your muscles and relieve pain. Get started early with physical therapy to get the greatest benefit. Massage and trigger point therapy may offer relief for piriformis symptoms. In some cases, piriformis symptoms might actually be caused by trigger points, or muscle knots. These knots may be found in the piriformis or gluteal muscles, and the pressure they cause can lead to pain at the site of the knot or even elsewhere on the body. Locate a health professional who is trained in trigger point therapy (a doctor, massage therapist, physical therapist) and see if this is the source of your pain. Your doctor may recommend certain over-the-counter and prescription medications to help you deal with pain. For example, some doctors may prescribe a muscle relaxant to help ease the discomfort of your piriformis syndrome. Ask your doctor about taking ibuprofen or naproxen for occasional piriformis pain as well. Some injection treatments have been found to be helpful in cases of piriformis syndrome. Ask your doctor if an injection treatment might be useful in your situation. The two main injection treatments for piriformis syndrome include anesthetic injection and Botox injection. Anesthetic injection. A pain relieving substance such as lidocaine or bupivacaine may be injected into the piriformis to help relieve pain. Botox injection. Botox injections have also been found to be effective in reducing pain and discomfort from piriformis syndrome. Electrotherapy has been found to be effective in some cases of piriformis syndrome. Ask your doctor or physical therapist about the possibility of using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) or Interferential Current Stimulator (IFC) to help treat your piriformis syndrome. Surgery has provided long-term pain relief for some sufferers of piriformis syndrome, but as with any surgery, there are some serious potential side effects to this treatment. It is best to exhaust all of your other treatment options before looking into surgery for piriformis syndrome.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remember that you have value. Find an outlet for your feelings. Don't give in to self-destructive urges. Look to other friends for support.

Answer: If you choose not to tell your crush about your feelings, or if you do but he or she doesn't reciprocate them, you may find yourself feeling pretty down. These feelings are perfectly normal, but don't allow them to skew your sense of self value. Make a list of the traits you have that a dating prospect would find valuable or attractive to remind you of your romantic strengths. Remember that not being right for one person doesn't mean you aren't a great catch! It's important that you not just bottle up your negative emotions. Find an outlet that you can use to safely express your feelings without any social fallout or embarrassment. Try writing in a journal on your laptop. Get your feelings out in words to help you better understand and cope with them. If you feel like you need to cry, you should. Letting it out can make you feel much better and release tension that has built up throughout your interactions with your friend and crush. Dancing, exercising, drawing or any number of other things can serve as a creative way to express your emotions. Keep trying until you find one that fits you. Sometimes when we're upset we make bad decisions; that's part of being human, but don't allow your bad feelings to lead you to make choices you know are harmful or destructive. Drinking and drugs may seem like they'll help, but they often just make you feel worse in the long run. They can also lead to addiction and serious health issues. It's okay to spend some time lying on the couch and stress-eating, but don't allow yourself to stay there for too long. Eating fattening foods and not getting any exercise can make you feel worse instead of better. When you're hurting, sometimes the best thing you can do is reach out to a friend or family member. Having a shoulder to cry on or a friendly ear to vent to can make a huge difference in how you feel when going through a difficult romantic situation. Focus on you and how you feel instead of discussing your friend or crush. Don't put mutual friends in a difficult position by making them feel as though they need to choose sides. You may feel embarrassed about the situation, but speaking to others can help you appreciate that heartache affects us all and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Crumple up a piece of paper. Create cheap cardboard tunnels. Make a stuffed sock. Use a ping-pong ball or a tennis ball.

Answer: Use plain paper and crumple it into a ball. Put it into your guinea pig's cage, or let them play with it when they're out. It sounds too easy, but guinea pigs like the crumpling noise and will likely gnaw on it. Cut up a wrapping paper tube into short lengths. Your guinea pig will toss it around and play with it. Just be sure to cut down the side so that your guinea pig doesn't get stuck inside. Find an old sock, and stuff some of the guinea pig's hay inside. Tie off the sock on one end. Cut off the end of the sock. Your guinea pig will pull the pillow around her cage and chew on it. While you're technically not making these toys, you likely have a few laying around the house. Just toss them in the cage, and let your guinea pig have fun.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add together all of the letter's numbers. Reduce the sum of your name's numbers into a single digit. Leave the Master Numbers as double digits.

Answer:
Using a calculator or a pencil and paper, add together every single digit from your name. If your name has 20 letters, you will be adding together 20 individual numbers. You will end up with a two-digit sum after adding everything together. For example, BATMAN is numbers 2+1+2+4+1+5, which equals 15. After you have added your numbers together, you will have a double or triple digit sum, if your name is long. To reduce the sum, add together the two digits within it. For example, if the sum of your letters is a 25, split the 25 and add 2+5 to equal 7. The 7 is your true name number. If you add up the letters in your name and you get a sum that equals either 11, 22, or 33, don't reduce them. These are the three Master numbers, which can add difficulty but also depth to the personality you are discovering or the topic of numerology you are studying. These three numbers have their own personality explanations. Master numbers can be reduced, but only in certain situations. They are reduced when they are found within a date or number equation. For example, if a total sum is a Master number do not reduce it. But if there is a Master number within the equation, go ahead and reduce an 11 to a 2 or a 33 to a 6 to simplify the equation.
