Buttocks pain = Back Pain?!
Question:
Buttocks pain = Back Pain?
For the past month, my right buttocks cheek has been sore (it feels like a pulled muscle). But lately, in addition to the right butt cheeck pain, my spine/back on the lower right side hurts a lot as well. A friend of mine says it could be a tight hamstring, but others have said it could be some serious back deterioration. Anyone experience this?
Answers:
I would see my doctor. I have osteo-arthritis in the severe degenerative stages, it's the same feeling you get, the sciatic nerve and the back. Mine is a lot worse. The doctor can take X-Rays and see what the problem is if any.
If you have anything showing up, he'll order MRI's and go from there. It could be anything at all with all the problems the spine can bring, I know.
A blown disc, an herniated disc, a vertebrae that's stenosis or a bulging disc. A number of things.
