To explain to the doctor what exactly bothers you, analyze your well-being. When does the pain in the buttock appear - when sitting, walking or lying down? What is it: pulling, throbbing, aching, stitching, etc.? In what situations does it get weaker?
Buttock pain can be caused by osteochondrosis, osteoarthritis, injuries, tuberculosis and other diseases, even infectious diseases, and if the symptoms that bother you are incorrectly explained, the doctor may mistakenly assume you have rheumatism, lumbago, fibromyalgia, etc. The correct diagnosis and the appointment of a course of treatment are possible only after a thorough examination. Typically, the patient is asked to clarify the picture of the disease to do an MRI of the lumbosacral spine.
Even a slight malaise (pulling, aching, boring pain) can be the beginning of a serious illness. Rubbing, kneading, stretching the painful gluteal muscle with various exercises save only temporarily. The pain becomes combined, constant. A person gets used to it, since it can last without remission, without significant deterioration.
Do not delay with a visit to a doctor, since there are diseases dangerous to the human body in which pain in the buttock is possible. This is stenosis, occlusion of the iliac arteries and aorta, cardiovascular and oncological diseases, osteomyelitis, some infectious diseases, etc.
To relieve symptoms and cure buttock pain, your doctor may prescribe non-steroidal medications like ibuprofen. Such anti-inflammatory drugs significantly relieve pain in the buttock and spine, especially if nerve roots become inflamed with pressure on the injured disk. They cannot completely remove such pain, but getting rid of the torment with their help is quite possible.
In addition to using drugs in the treatment of pain in the back and buttocks, it is important to limit physical activity. It is forbidden to lift weights; long standing and sitting is prohibited. If you keep physical activity to a minimum, give up the habit of cross-leg and cross-leg, get a good orthopedic mattress, you will significantly reduce the load on the spine and reduce pain in the buttock and other parts of the spinal column, this vital part of the human body.
Learn to sit and walk correctly, correctly distribute your weight. With its proper distribution, the hips and knees form a right angle, and the load goes not on the coccyx, but on the bones of the pelvis.
With the custom of constantly sitting cross-legged, the sciatic nerve is pinched. Pain in the buttock when sitting appears due to the fact that in a person with a bad habit of sitting cross-leg, the buttock muscles of one of the halves are constantly experiencing overload. To avoid more serious health problems, at the first appearance of pain in the buttocks and lower back, you should consult a specialist.
A wonderful way to relieve stress and fatigue from modern life, to take a break from the hustle and bustle are walking in the fresh air. But if walking causes pain in your buttock, if muscle cramps occur in your legs, your knees begin to swell and “burn”, a throbbing pain appears, consult a neurologist, rheumatologist, and traumatologist. Only a doctor will determine the causes of your painful condition, prescribe an examination and treatment. After all, pain in the buttock when walking can be accompanied by lameness, and after increased loads noise may appear over the arteries, and this is fraught with more serious complications.
