What helps to relieve pain in my butt?

I was on Mayo connect in February. I had surgery in January for l5/s1 lateral herniated disk and a laminectomy. All went well. Now I have Piriformis pain really bad. Actually I’ve had this for about 3 years then the pain took over from the herniated disk which caused severe sciatic pain. I’ve read a lot online on what not to do and exercises to do. There are 4 simple exercises I can do on my back. I have a couple good hours but pain rarely goes away. Not sure how to resolve. I won’t take pain medicine. Tried ice - no help. We found a video on massage and my husband tries to copy. It does help for a little while but won’t go away! Any ideas?

Pelvic pt and a myofascial specialist are great ideas…
I have a terrible, inoperable spine in all ways. Having nerve ablation in a month. Hoping that will help with pain, not permanent, but will take anything I can get and repeat when necessary.
As to butt pain, I have had that misery for 4-5 years and FINALLY got a diagnosis-ischial bursitis by my orthopedist; never thought to ask him about this pain. Maybe caused by too much pt for spine?
Pelvic pt person wrote down all places that hurt in my butt, and orthopedist knew right where to start looking with this information.
Also having an MRI this month to see if I have any tears in my hamstring.
Don’t quit until you can find something that helps!
