Brief Answer:
Hot compress and oral muscle relaxants can help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the piriformis muscle is seen due to a spasm. Physiotherapy and regular hot compress helps to relieve the spasm most effectively. The burning pain can be associated with a mild nerve root compression or irritation and can improve with methylcobalamin supplements. Since pain killers are nor suitable for you, you can get oral muscle relaxants prescribed from your physician.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
