How Can Pain In The Buttocks Be Treated?

I have been experiencing what appears to be sciatica (pain in the right buttocks) for several months. Laying on the floor and doing leg exercises seems to help. I do hear and feel what appears to be some friction in my back when I do these exercises. No pain from that though. I don t know if it s related, but for the past couple weeks I am also now experiencing what feels like a vibration in the upper part of my right leg. The sensation comes and goes. Sounds like I should probably start by making an appointment with my primary care Dr.???

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Good day and thank you for posting this question. Yes, you should make an appointment with your primary care doctor. If I were your doctor, I will examine you thoroughly and do some test. If its Sciatica, I will give you drugs like acetaminophen and muscle relaxants then will advice you see the Physiotherapist for proper exercises.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
