Hi. I am 47 y/o and also live in WI. I have a horrid pain in my right buttox.I do believe I have piroformis syndrome. I have had it for eight years and it is ruining my life. My wife is leaving me after 26 years because this has changed me dramatically. I have had several MRI's, at least 4 cortisone injections into the piroformis with diminishing relief. (5 months max) I have some relief with Tramadol & Hydrocodone. Stretches & Chiro SI joint manipulation also helps. I want Piro release as well. Have you found a diagnosis? I'd go to Mayo and get fresh start. Yours sounds worse than my pain. I was going to try Mayo but just lost my job and quite likely the cabin too. No wonder I'm slightly depressed. Having a bone scan tomorrow & some x-rays hunched over. Sitting is terrible.
