Just throwing some things out there that I was told/advised when doc suspected my issue was piriformis - Please let docs know if you did do anything odd or accidently prior to pain (sure you probably already got that covered!), was told not to use heat as that INCREASES inflammation - use ice instead, and Voltaren Gel was prescribed (it's a script only NSAID - I can't take oral anti-inflammatories). Oh, and was told to cut my exercise in half - I walk, or did, walk 4 miles in one hour. Never considered that as athletic, just walking like I had somewhere to go and I was late, but have since learned that does qualify as athletic.
Wish I could be of more help.....
