What should I do for pain in the piriformis muscle?

In such cases, applying warm compresses may help alleviate symptoms, and gentle massage can also be beneficial. If symptoms persist without improvement, medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital are necessary. Patients must pay attention to keeping warm in daily life, avoid catching colds, refrain from bathing with cold water, and avoid exposure to drafts or cool air immediately after sweating. Additionally, they should avoid excessive physical exertion and straining, limit intake of greasy and fried foods, consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, and reduce consumption of spicy and irritating foods.
