........just happened to run across a diagram of the hip areas (whilst looking for Foam Roller Exercises)..... 
.......I think that's what I popped in my hip........any stretches we know to help it????l <a href="http://www.deskjockeyfitness.com/FeaturedExercises/0603PiriformisFoamRollerRelease.html" target="_blank">http://www.deskjockeyfitness.com/FeaturedExercises/0603PiriformisFoamRollerRelease.html</a> 
...it's right where that highlighted (inflammed) part of the picture is...mostly at the top of the muscle.... 
thanks for any help..... 
------edited to add--- 
I did this in October 
when I ran across some Felt Covering at the Track,(to protect from Football Cleats ) 
and caught my foot which ''torqued'' my hip,,,,like an idiot I finished the run, but it's been extremely sore ever since...

LeftRightRepeat's stretches are good. I've dealt with piriformis syndrome in my right leg for over two years. There's also a yoga pose I do. Don't know the name, just how to do it. 
One comment though: piriformis is usually felt in the butt/hamstring area, not really in the hip. Are you sure this is what's bothering you?

Yep, that's the pose. My PT taught me that. 
Pigeon, huh? Did not know that... <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">
