I have that ring tube but i stopped using it after 4-5 months. I am a CA final student and have my papers in may. I could not attempt my past exams properly and during exam time the pain becomes unbearable and it becomes difficult for me to walk. Till date i am unable to sit for more than 15-20 mins. Shall i drop my attempt and take proper rest? I want to know if exerting during papers will make it even worse? I fear if i sit in exams it would increase my problem for lifetime.
Am i allowed to drive scooter, Physical routine exercises, skipping etc? Any precautions to be taken??

Sir i couldn't understand that 18 months point? I am suffering from 10 months, rest is not the solution, is that so?
And sir, what exercises do you recommend, pls name them so that i can ask my physiotherapist for it.
Also any pain killer medicine if required that can be taken during exam tym?
I am afraid of taking injection, bt is it a guaranteed solution?
And sir, following all your instructions (other than injection for the time being) how much time more time will it take to recover?
Bcz sir its already been 10 months, i really now wanna get rid of it.
Is the recovery permanent, or i will have to take care (like using soft cushion, no long sitting) always??
Forceful Sitting during examinations even in pain will cause any kind serious damage or enhance the problem?
Can acupressure be a solution?

Hello again
Rest is no solution now as it’s already 10 months old.
Yes you can do Kneeling groin stretch and piriformis stretch.
You can take tab altraday for exam time.
Injection can give long term relief. It is not guaranteed solution.
Recovery time is not fix but approximate 3 to 4 months.
Recovery will be permanent.
It also depends on how pain started. Like any injury? Fall? Excessive sitting?
During exam time you should sit with your cushion. If you sit on hard surface for long time pain will aggravate.
Acupressure may help but no guaranty.
