Piriformis Syndrome: How were you diagnosed and what helps?

I am very interested in this subject, though I've never heard of piriformis before. Lately I've been having pain (aching and sharp pain both) that radiates from my back around where my kidneys are, down my buttocks to my legs. Sitting or laying in bed makes it worse; if I get up and move around it sometimes helps. I haven't been to the doctor yet. It just seemed to come on all of a sudden. No falls, no strains, no injuries. Help! Where should I start?

I've had piriformis syndrome, diagnosed by my PCP, and Physical Therapy fixed it.

When I’ve had limb pain before I go to my primary. He is good at examining me and figuring it out. He’s given me instructions for some stretching before and/or referred me to PT, which has always been a great help. I’ve had Piriformis pain before and it was horrible. It’s tough to treat it and slow to heal, based on my experience.
Hope you can figure it out.
