What Causes Pain In Buttocks And Thigh?

I have this pain in the back of my thigh and butt. It started after I had been sick in bed for two days which is strange because I have a chronic illness and sometimes am in bed for that long and even longer and have never had this pain before. What could it be?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pain in hip and thigh can occur due to causes like Bursitis, Tendinosis, labrum tear, Sciatica, Inguinal hernia, Herniated discs,Osteoporosis, Arthritis etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, MRI Scan and nerve conduction studies can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen or Naproxen, muscle relaxants, physiotherapy and stretching exercises, warm compresses and avoiding exertion and take sufficient rest..
This can provide relief from pain and discomfort while the treatment of the underlying cause can be done as per the diagnosis so that the permanent resolution will be achieved..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
