• Piriformis syndrome occurs when the sciatic nerve is caught near the ischial tuberosity of the hip.

• This condition causes pain in the area around the back of the leg and glutes. It may also cause numbness and tingling.

• The piriformis muscle is involved in externally rotating the hip and is located nearby the sciatic nerve. Due to the proximity, the piriformis muscle can compress the sciatic nerve.
