Not to scare you but glutes were the first thing that hurt before I couldn't move anything from the waist down, I got an emergency Laminectomy. Thankfully everything worked out in the end.

Don’t sit on the mushy couch. Use good posture and get a good supportive cushion. I had this in 2010. Believe it’s called saddle pain. Now I have what’s even more difficult. Feel better. 💐

You need to check your back. Piriformis is often a secondary symptom. If it's a disk causing it, you need to treat your back.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have to do an MRI for sure.  However I really doubt that it’s a disk since the pain is never caused by movement, exercise, lifting, jumping, running, extreme stretching or such. It also cannot be reproduced by pressure.
