I agree with the workup thus far.
To evaluate the pain in the buttocks, I would exclude a pinched nerve or herniated disk. Nerve conduction studies as well as a back MRI can exclude this possibility.
Muscle and joint pain can be due to rheumatological disease. An ANA and rheumatoid factor level can be considered to evaluate for this.
Regarding the stomach symptoms, an upper endoscopy can comprehensive evaluate the upper GI tract. GERD, an ulcer, or inflammation of the upper digestive tract can be evaluated with this test.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
