Can a loose and weak piriformis muscle cause pain? if so what type of pain would it cause. thanks

Possible sciatica: if you have problems with the piriformis tendon, it may irritate the sciatic nerve. This in turn may cause pain in the buttock and/or aim down the leg. An evaluation with a good history and physical can help with the diagnosis and treatment.
