severe buttock pain constantly
i can hardly walk stand bend reach put on clothes my pain is unending what help can i get please help me
As doctornee stated, a commonbreason for buttock pain is compression of a nerve exiting between the lower verterbra, generally the sciatic nerve.
The MRI, as suggested by Drnee, is of the lower spine, specifically L1-L-5.
But all the other possibilities, as discussed by Drnee should be considered.
If it is sciatic nerve compression there are specific exercises that may relieve the pain, as well as a surgical procedure called a laminectomy.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
There is a chance that you have compression of the spinal nerves in the lumbo-sacral spine region. This can happen due to overuse of the lower back as in work requiring too much of bending, lifting weight, fall on the back, overweight, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. Poor posture while sleeping, sitting on computers or jobs for a long time, uneven bed, exposure of back to cold air while sleeping can cause a discomfort for a few days. Take a multivitamin, plenty of fluids, and an OTC analgesic. Apply a local analgesic and apply a heating pad and see if it helps. If this does not help, consult a neurologist. A MRI of the spine will be definitely required. The treatment is to remove the compression. You have to discuss the best treatment option with a neurologist, which can range from medication to physiotherapy to traction, lumbar belts, lumbar corsets or even surgery.
A wrong posture on a job that involves sitting for a long time too can precipitate this.
History of taking injections in the buttocks in the recent past should be looked into. A number of times old injection sites start troubling if undue pressure is put on them as in prolonged sitting. This will respond to hot water bags below the buttocks at night or kept for sometime while sitting too.
Another possibility is ischiogluteal bursitis. This is inflammation of the bursa that lies between the ischial tuberosity of the pelvic bone and the tendon of hamstring muscle. The bursa may show inflammation without any cause or in association with hamstring tendinitis or inflammation of tendon of hamstring. The pain increases on stretching.
Myofascial pain or trigger points in the Gluteus medius muscle and Piriformis muscles of the buttock can cause pain in the buttock area which may radiate to thighs. Stretching the muscle increases the pain.
I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Hope this helps. Take care!

I agree with katie. Either you have damaged your tail bone or have a disc or nerve issue going on in your lower back most likely. You need to make an appointment with your doctor and will probably need a Cat Scan and/or MRI to determine what exactly is causing it. Good Luck Hun!
