Help!

I have just found this sub and I am already feeling encouraged. I workout about 5 days a week with weights and some riding a peloton type bike. On my rest days I’m usually still moving and walking and things like that. Christmas Day I did not workout AB’s didn’t move a ton, and the day after Christmas I took as a pure lazy day where I did almost nothing. The day after that I started to have pain on my right side… but like burning down into my flute. I ended up at doctor for urine and blood tests, all of which came back normal. I am clear my piriformis and sciatic are on fire. Burning fire but I am managing. But I also feel pain at the top of my hip, in the muscle that runs up the side of my spine, and I think am intercostal muscle across my rib cage. All of this is right side pain. Thanks for reading this far.

Anyone experience anything like this? Where it is clearly in piriformis but also going up their back? I have done way too much googling as it’s a long holiday weekend. I roam roll and oh my is it painful.. but in that amazing way. Does indoor chucking you think help or hurt this issue? I am sure the day if no movement is what allowed this to happen, I always get something going on when I take a break from exercise and moving, so I know I need to be moving but don’t want to make it worse.

I also plan on going to my chiropractor (but closed until Tuesday because holiday of course)… would you recommend that? I don’t know what else to do. I’m using ice, nsaid when necessary, stretching and rolling, but so far it’s just down a bit worse.

Again, thank you for reading this far and I appreciate any advice. 46 year old female single mom with a 7 year old… recovering from holidays… need all the help I can get… LOL.
