Brief Answer: Most likely due to the injection he took there. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for your query. Pain in his left butt seems most likely due to the injection he took there. Rotate a warm pack on and off the site, it will help blood flow to the area and heal the area faster. Massage or rub the site. This will help disperse the medication and loosen the muscle. Use soft cushion for sitting. I suggest you to watch for: Increased redness, Expanding swelling that is growing worse,Fever, Warm skin temperature at injection site. If these occurs consult your doctor for examination. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
