What Causes Severe Pain In Right Buttocks When Walking Or Sitting?

I am having severe pain in my right buttocks when walking and/or sitting. The pain is a grabbing pain and literally makes me freeze in position and almost takes my breath away. It only lasts a few seconds but leaves me with lower back pain. It almost feels like something is slipping in my hip or buttocks area.

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
U seem to have compressed a nerve in the back somewhere that might be causing radiating pain in those regions.Possibility of a lumbar disc prolapse should be kept in mind.
I suggest you get an Xray as well as an MRI to find out the exact cause.
Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs,lumbar traction ,infra red therapy should help.in difficult cases,using a lumbosacral belt should be helpful.
Avoid surgery as far as possible.If at all its needed,get it done endoscopically.
Nothing to worry about.     
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
