@heyjoe415 "Piriformis syndrome is a condition where the piriformis muscle in the buttock spasms or tightens, compressing the nearby sciatic nerve, causing pain, tingling, and numbness in the buttocks that can radiate down the back of the leg, mimicking sciatica. It's often triggered by overuse, injury, prolonged sitting, or poor posture, leading to inflammation."
My son got it from weight lifting and, I think, using improper form.

Thanks Babs. Please do let us know how your son is doing.
Most, if not all people in a gym use improper form, every time they work out. I started working with a trainer 4 years ago to get my leg muscles in better shape to support an upcoming total knee replacement.
That all went fine, and I still work with that trainer today. The most important thing he does for me is to ensure I execute exercises with proper form. It's easy to get into bad habits, less easy to get out of them.
My advice - if one can afford a trainer (2x/week for 45 minutes/session), do it. It's a great investment in your health.
