I certainly appreciate your comments and shared symptoms.....I swear that this pain in my left "cheek" came on overnight, but would leave, etc....when it came to the point that the dull deep pain in which I too could pinpoint was unbearable, I went to the Dr....we did xray, nothing there.....so, couple of shots kinda like "Supartz" for the knee....great, takes pain away, but Chiro says, don't do shots...says masks the pain, etc.... welp, it is assumed that my pregnancies and especially that of my twins, did some kind of damage to the pelvic area as mentioned by many of you....I can't seem to get a diagnosis or plan of treatment other than shots for pain...that doesn't seem to be an acceptable view in my opinion...I'm a fix it kinda gal, not cover it up....any suggestions?? gah, I can't tell you what it feels like to know that I didn't make this whole "pain in my butt" thing up :)

I am female.  Two days ago I exercised and felt good, even jumping on my mini-trampoline trying to get back into exercising.  Wow! I felt good afterward.  Later in the day I went grocery shopping, carrying in those awful plastic bags (I hate to make so many trips to the car so I carry in too much).  On the last trip and with too much weight on my right side, I felt slight pain in my right butt cheek.  I kind of dismissed it until trying to sleep at night...pain almost like I had been kicked in the butt...felt like a bone bruise.  Standing in the morning and walking hurt as bad as lying down, and it upset my stomach like I had to vomit, but didn't.  I decided to eat something and take some Ibuprofen.  It still hurt somewhat, but it was dulled.
Before sleeping last night I took more Ibuprofen and was able to sleep pretty much all night, but first thing this morning it was back and so was the feeling of sickness in my stomach.  Again, I ate something and swallowed 3 Ibuprofen and used something trans-dermal on my sore spot.  All of it helped, but it was still just dulled, not gone away.  This is day 2 having this problem.  Not sure if it was the exercise or those bags, but I've been hurt by those bags before...usually my shoulder or elbow extending...I bet many people have had problems because of those plastic bags...and just don't realize that those could be the reason.  After this, I plan to ask for paper sacks instead.  I plan to take some more Ibuprofen tonight...and pray the pain will eventually go away.  It doesn't feel like a muscle pull as I've had those before, and I was able to fix those with the exercises from "Egoscue".  Those exercises don't work this time.
Good luck to you all.  I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers...and if anything new happens, will report.  Thanks

I too have this terrible pain but its in both cheeks.  seems worse when I sit or stand for long periods of time.  I have no loose vertibrea in my back.  I have had multiple surgeries and have rods and springs down my back completely.  Can my pelvis still be out and if so can it be put into alignment without munipulating my spine?
