I found out to get rid of most of the pain of piriformis and sciatica.. Most people don't realize what caused it in the first place. .Falling down when skiing, skating, walking on icy roads, landing on your tailbone, any form of a fall and landing on your butt causes this disorder!! For 13 years I had it and could barely function as I couldn't sit down and with back problems couldn't stand up for long periods.. I had a long drive ahead of me and by chance one day I went into a massage place.. Now some will say I had that and I will say NO you didn't.. This lady knew what I was talking about and she knew what to do.. I laid down on the massage table and then felt pain like you would not believe.. bad pain.. worse than sitting.. see when you go to a massage place they might massage your bum a bit or use ice or heat.. that doesn't work and neither due pain killers.. I know I have tried them all. What does work however is getting that damn sciatic nerve out from the piriformis muscle so you can sit again.. Is it cheap no but it works.. Anyways.. I laid on that table as she massaged my legs and calves and back.. then she said this is gonna hurt and it did.. She used her ELBOW to dig into the muscle in my bum that was sore and tender.. according to her there was a knott in there of scar tissue etc from years before (I mentioned the icy stuff) . What she had to do was loosen that knott to release the nerve.. OWE... after 40 minutes I was exhausted and sore.. but bum felt a bit better. Went a week later... same treatment... 40 minutes later.. sore bum but better to sit.. It took three months to get rid of it.. and it was gone..... never to return with same treatment.. Well guess what I moved 1000 miles away and got a sore bum sitting in the bus ..NO one where I live knows what to do.. they all give it lip service but I know.. I am an elderly lady with lots of health issues and taking a bus back to her is not a good idea.. but what I wouldn't give to be there again so that I could be pain free .. I had to leave.. I was moving but this lady helped me when no one else did or could... one day when I am rich.. if I live that long.. so I will tell you.. go to a massage place.. tell them what I said.. get them to use their elbows in the sore place in your bum.. over and over again.. and repeat the treatment as often as necessary till the pain is gone.. then go for more treatment less frequently but don't quit or it will come back.. I wish you luck as mine has returned in painful not sitting ..laying.. or standing up form... grrrr...
