I got it diagnosed by my wife's cousin, who's a PT with the Celtics and Patriots, when I was out visiting a few years back. I'm relatively certain the acute injury occurred while deadlifting, but now that I've cleaned up that form and kept the weight jellydick for a while, it's become apparent that overarching while pressing aggravates it a bit too, so I'm trying to watch that as well.
There wasn't much actual treatment other than trying to stay active and train through it the best I could; raising myself up at my trunk to get out of bed was a no go (I'd have to roll out), and bending over to tie my shoes wasn't possible either. I just kept the lower body stuff either non-existent or light, depending on if it irritated it or my ROM felt restricted, rested, and tried to do some stretches I found on the web/laid on a foam roller and lacrosse ball for a while. I hurt my left one initially and then my right one around 15 months ago, and all that I can say for sure actually improved things was time.
