Slim Wallets: A Better Cure and Prevention for Wallet Neuritis

Are you someone who places your wallet in your back pocket and someone who sits for a prolonged period? Well, read up, because you might be experiencing what is called the fat wallet syndrome.

The fat wallet syndrome is more common in men because they are the ones who are used to placing their wallets in their back pockets and sitting on them while going through their day. What you think might be a harmless habit is causing you more damage than you think.

The Piriformis Syndrome and Wallet Neuritis

Piriformis Syndrome and the Wallet Sciatica are two conditions that can result when you are sitting on your wallet. These terms have been used interchangeably in the past but are now handled with distinction.

Piriformis Syndrome is when it is not your spine that is compressing your nerve but the muscle in your hip (the piriformis muscle. It is a neuromuscular disorder that involves the piriformis muscle and the sciatic nerve.

Wallet Neuritis is when you can feel pain and discomfort in your tendons, ligaments, skin, muscles, or nerves. When there is an injury to your back or spine causing the nerves to be damaged or compressed leading to sensations of pain in your buttocks or back of the thigh.

Therefore, Piriformis Syndrome is a condition that can lead to Wallet Neuritis if the disorder in the piriformis muscle affects the sciatic nerve which is close. Other causes of Piriformis Syndrome include inactive gluteal muscles, overactive hip flexors, overuse of gluteal muscles (common in cyclists and rowers), inadequate stretching for extended periods, and poor posture.

Whereas wallet neuritis is a condition that is externally induced i.e., sitting on a fat wallet. Sitting with a full-back wallet for extended periods can twist the spine and compress the nerves in the buttocks and legs. It can result in alteration in the alignment of the lumbosacral spinal segment, pelvis, and gluteal anatomical structures (a condition related to piriformis syndrome).

Symptoms

The symptoms of Piriformis Syndrome and Wallet Neuritis are very similar. It includes pain, numbness, tingling, and burning sensations that you can feel from the buttocks to the thigh and then to the leg.

Treatment Options

The first line of treatment is buying over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs. It will help relieve the pain and discomfort and will help loosen the tight muscles in the buttocks and hips. You can be prescribed muscle relaxants as well.

Another option is to put ice on the affected area for 20 minutes every hour for the first 24-48 hours. Then, an exercise therapy focused on stretching muscles in the thighs, legs, and buttocks will help relieve the tension. These exercises can allow these muscles to return to their proper position and alignment, too.

Some of these exercises include strengthening for the hip abductors, external rotators, and extensors. Doing these exercises can help you long-term because it prevents the condition from returning.

But you know what’s the best treatment? Stop using fat wallets. You can go through so much stress and hassle by using it and placing it in the wrong spot. Gone are the days of the fat, bulky wallets – it’s not just aesthetically unpleasant, it’s bad for your health, too.
