How Can Pain And Swelling In The Buttocks Be Treated?
I am a CNA and hurt myself on the job, it was a pulled muscle in my butt, left side only. it doesnt seem to get better. I ve been getting sharp pain and burning at times, sometimes I feel as though I will fall.the pain is in my entire leg radiating down my leg. my feet or foot swells up when I wake in the morning and I have a very hard time changing positions while sleeping, its a sharp stabbing and I have to wake everytime I roll over.

HELLO
AS you are a CNA you must be aware of a condition called sciatica. The pain you are describing appears to be it. I would like you get a MRI -LS spine done. The differential needs to be confirmed and further management of the condition will be prescribe then only. I suggest you to consult a orthopaedic surgeon with a scan
