What Causes Pain And Muscle Cramps On Upper Part Of Glute?

HI, I strained my lower back a week and a half ago. While the lower back pain has gone away, I have begun to have cramping and aching on the left upper part of my glute. The aching etc is radiating down my left leg. I would associate it with sciatic nerve pain, but not as sharp. Anything I can do to make it stop? I m taking ibuprofen, to no avail. Thanks.

Hi

Ibuprofen is helpful in mild to moderate pain.I would suggest you to take muscle relaxants like chlorzoxazone after visiting your physician. chlorzoxazone is available in combination with pain killers such as paracetamol or diclofenac can also be taken.Hot compress can provide pain relief and can be done twice a day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
