dude it's a disc til proven otherwise.  Taught cadaver anatomy 31 years, orthopedics and in practice same.  Almost never piriformis cuz less than 1% of peoples sciatic nerve pierces the piriformis we found in 31 years and don't let anyone tell you that without that it can cause sciatica (true radicular "radiculopathy" sciatica to the foot, not referred pain into the butt/thigh which can be from the muscle).  Practioners come up with "Piriformis Syndrome" when they're not 100% sure what up, meaning its a developing what I can early stealth disc problem.

Whoever said do McKenzies extension exercise protocols is spot on along with and exercise where you get on all fours, suck the abdominals in while simultaneously arching the back upward a bit, then drop the backside 6-8", no more, 10 reps all 3x/day.  Also as he noted forward flexion of any type, especially with any rotation, is the enemy of disc, avoid at all costs.  Ya can owe me a beer next fine mess tailgate.  Good luck
