Hello Mather. Thank you for writing us here. What you're suffering from is the performs syn Chat Doctor.  Performs is a muscle in the buttock region which is infected and causes pain in buttock and the muscle could also affect the sciatic nerve which is near the muscle and could result into tingling sensation, shooting pain till your calf muscle. You can go for either of the following alternatives for relief from pain and treatment1) You can go for heat and cold therapy for relief from pain.2) taking medications for pain like ibuprofen or naproxen or paracetamol3) Botox injection which would help you to get relief from pain as it would relax the muscle and it won't irritate the sciatic nerve. You can go for any of these methods for getting relief best regards,
