Question : I have been experiencing very mild pressure and discomfort in my buttocks to anus area. I was giving my little league team batting practice last week for 2 hours bending over many many times to pick up the balls. Could that be a cause? I am very inactive as well.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain.

I advice you to follow the below mentioned guidelines -

* Give adequate rest to the involved muscle group and avoid any movement that causes pain
* Ice packing once in every 2 hours over the affected area
* Moist heat application to relax the muscles
* Local application of muscle relaxant gel
* Analgesic medications as needed

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Take care
