I had terrible piriformis pain which started during my first pregnancy. Things that helped the pain included doing pigeon and figure-4 stretches, and myofascial release by laying on a small hard ball (handball or lacrosse ball). But what made it go away for real was getting in shape, specifically, glutes and core. It used to be that I couldn’t stand or sit for long. Now it almost never bothers me, and if it does, the above stretches get it gone.

Good luck!
