Based on the research that I have done, that is my best guess as well. I hope to have an answer on 3/24 when I see my orthopedic guy.

I have a very strong riding buddy, ~65, who's lived with diagnosed piriformis for years. The only things he's said which help him are 800mg ibuprofen, the "snake in the grass" McKenzie pose, and lowering(!) his bars. Having it that bad is due to a genetic defect in the location of the sciatic nerve as it passes through the muscle.
