Piriformis syndrome, SIJ problems & sore achilles

I've been seeing a PT for Piriformis Syndrome, including some sciatic pain and lower back pain. I also have SIJ problems that flare up and a sore achilles tendon, all on the right hand side. I've had 5 sessions with the PT for the PS problem and she massages the area, stretches it and has me do piriformis and hamstring stretches on the right side.

Has anyone had anything similar? I'm getting very frustrated at not seeing much improvement. Is there anything else I should (or shouldn't) do? Any strengthening things that might help. It seems strange that it's all on the right side, although the PT doesn't seem to think the achilles soreness is linked. My cardio is limited at the moment because my lower back feels almost "jarred" and because of my achilles, and I'm so frustrated.

I feel as if something is just "out" in my back, so I'm wondering if I'd be better off seeing a chiro or osteopath?

Help! Thanks,

Emma
