What Causes Swelling Of Buttock?

hi,



my wife has a problem with her right buttock. she has felt discomfort for about 4 week and was putting it down to a pulled muscle. It has become worse in the last week or so. 1/3 of her buttock is now swollen, firm and slightly dicoloured (very feint bruise). She has been to the Docs earlier this week who gave her pain killers and said he didn't know what it was and to come back in 10 days if it wasn't any better. She is struggling to bend, sit and is in quite a bit of pain....Any Ideas?...thanks
