@toula Myofascial therapy might be worth looking into. It is so beneficial to a lot of conditions when our bodies get stuck. Other issues that may affect that area could be pelvic alignment. Here is an article that gets pretty technical written for physical therapists that has a section about pundental nerve entrapment that describes the piriformis muscle as a contributing factor. My PT has me stretch my piriformis, but that should be something to ask your therapist about because of your back surgeries. This article describes various issues that cause symptoms similar to back problems that are caused by the pelvis.
Here is an excerpt from https://mskneurology.com/identify-treat-lumbar-plexus-compression-syndrome-lpcs/
"Most of the time, the pudendal nerve will be “double crushed”; first by the piriformis, and then between the falciform process of the STL and the obturator internus."
