What Caused Pain In My Left Buttock Cheek?

I have a pain in my left buttock cheek. It is in the large muscle area. I awoke with this pain 2 wks. ago. I have been told that it is a pulled muscle. I am 60, female, just quit smoking, do not drink alcohol and am just starting an exercise program. I still have menopause problems & because I keep my window open at night & because I sweat, I m wondering if the cold air on my lower backside is causing the pain. The pain subsides & then always returns. The pain is like a shooting ache, very intense.

Hi You have Pain is your buttock cheek area for 2 weeks off and on. It is quite possible that you may have twisted or strained your lower back causing an inflammation of Sacroiliac joint on the left side. Take some pain killer for sometime , apply heat and analgesic cream in the affected area. that should take care of your pain.
