Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain in the buttock. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like sciatica , sacroiliac Joint , osteoarthritis , bursitis or trigger points. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to buttock , do gentle massage and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . If condition doesn't get better then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI along with physical examination . Doctor may order muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory , nerve supplement and physical therapy . Doctor may also recommend stretching exercises or particular strength exercises .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,

Hello,

I have studied your case,

Due to compression of nerve root there can be butt pain.
I will advise you to do MRI spine..

This can be due to muscle spasm also.
Blood work up and EMG-NCV [nerve conduction] study will help.

For these symptoms methylcobalamine and neurotropic medication like amitryptiline can be started consulting your doctor.
Epidural steroid shot can help if no relief with medication.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
