In my case, a very strange kind of stretch has provided piriformis syndrome relief. It's very difficult for most folks to do unless your hips are very limber. There is actually a device sold to help you do the right stretch if your hips are not limber, but I don't need it. Nothing else has helped me except this weird stretch. Lie on your back on bed with your knees pulled up,and your feet flat on the bed. Now can you drop your knee to the side, twist your lower leg as you raise your foot and grab it in your opposite hand? Then with both hands pull your foot and knee towards your chest. Just a couple of inches makes the difference. Stretch and rest about five times. Do this every morning and night. Sincerely hope it helps you. Piriformis feels like sitting on a knitting needle. Please check with your doctor first. I am not a medical professional!
