More info needed: Why the Pyriformis release surgery Have you had non-invasive treatment for "pyriformis syndrome" ? What does your Physical Therapist say about your SI Joint. If is stable and not diseased exercide will maintain your SI joint stability/ BTW There are "semi-invasive" treatments for Pyriformis spasm including BOTOX injections Hope this helps Dr Z
