Hi, @denman55. I moved your discussion and combined it with an ongoing discussion titled "Piriformis Syndrome: How were you diagnosed and what helps?" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/piriformis-syndrome/.
You can meet members discussing similar symptoms of piriformis syndrome and various injections they've tried like @lesb0298 and @marilynredder2367.
@denman55, have you tried any other treatments for your pain, or was this one of your first treatment options?

When the symptoms first appeared, I thought it was Sciatica. My spine doctor performed an ESI on me, but it had no effect, and the pain continued to get worse. I ended up in the ER, and had to be given Morphine, Percocet and a Lidocaine patch for the pain. I couldn't walk, stand or sit without being in horrible pain. I will be getting the injection this morning into the Piriformis muscle and hope I get some relief from it. I can't go on like this any longer.
