Buttcheek pain?!
Question:
Buttcheek pain?
while at work my right butt cheek starts to kill me. It's not in the middle of the cheek but at the top of my ***. Someone said said that it could be my ciatic (don't know the proper spelling of that, sorry) nerve. What is that and what can I do to make it stop hurting?
Answers:
Your sciatic nerve is being pinched.
Prolonged sitting and especially hard surfaces escalates the problem.
Usually sciatic nerve pinches are caused by herniated disc in the low lumber L-5 to S-1 region.
I had a sever pinch of the L-5/S-1 that took immediate surgery to make it live-able. However, I cannot work at a sit down job of more than a couple hours a day. Walking and standing is ok but prolonged sitting is a killer.
Sitting with your legs elevated will help relieve the pressure from the sciatic nerve region.
I recommend staying away from Chiropractors but seeing either a Neurologist or an Orthopedic Doctor to see what can be done in your case.
Below I pasted an article for you to visit and read up on the condition.
