Question : I have pains at the back of my bum when I stand from a sitting position

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Hot compress alternating with cold compress should provide relief.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through the brief description provided. However, I would need you to clarify the exact location of the pain, whether it is midline involving the tip of the bony coccyx or whether it is in the soft fatty/muscular portion of the buttocks on either sides. Also mention how long this has been going on. Based on your inputs, I would definitely guide you further.

However, hot compress alternating with cold compress shoudl provide relief.
