Piriformis syndrome manifests as pain in the lower limb, which intensifies during walking, along with radiating pain in the buttock. Patients experiencing these symptoms should promptly seek evaluation at a qualified medical institution to determine the appropriate treatment based on the severity of their condition. During treatment, patients should minimize physical activity and prioritize rest.
