Default Piriformis Pain ?

I am 54yrs. young. I have had lower back and leg pain for app. 7-8 years now. The doctors cannot find any problems. I have had 4 MRI's. and many other treatments. I have been on Ultram 20 mg. for about 3-4yrs. I'm up to8-12 a day and the pain is getting worse. I fear I am hooked on the drug now. I was on the net one night and came across this piriforms site. The more I read the more it sounded like what I experiencing. I found that roughly 10% of the population has this problem. It is where the piriforms muscle is pinching the sciatic nerve. Has anyone had this? If so, what did you do about it? The pain meds. suck!!
