Sometimes referred to as deep buttock pain, other causes of this type of pain include spine problems (including herniated discs and spinal stenosis), sciatica, and hip bursitis. The diagnosis of piriformis syndrome is often given when all of these diagnoses are eliminated as possible causes of pain.
Interesting to read your 10 reasons for buttock pain, I have had such pain for the last 6/12, when I first get up in the morning, I can hardly put my weight on my legs, shooting pains down the path of the sciatic nerve, I take painkillers and gradually the shooting pain is replaced by waves of pins and needles down the front of my legs, and into my feet, this is more severe on the right. later in the day I get a nagging ache in both buttocks, and the pins and needles recur at intervals.
