Yep. Also do the pigeon pose to stretch it out. Learn to brace properly in the midsection and wear a belt if you are high in your weights and don't do reps past 5 or 6 without perfect form. Low reps just reset each time.

I had an injury like that and had pseudo sciatica. It's the piriformis inflamed on the sciatic nerve.

I deadlifted and squated after that but did higher reps with lighter weight to practice form and went up from there. Had the injury doing 225 on touch and go. Fixed form and did 510 about a month later
