How Can Severe Pain In The Buttocks Be Treated?

I took a very hard fall 9-days ago landing against my right buttocks cheek. There was a small puncture wound from the corner of the bench I landed against. I have had immense pain in my buttocks, lift hip and lower back. Some bruises even appeared on the front of my thigh even though there was no impact there. I was seen in the ER where x-rays were done with negative results. I currently and still in pain and have a deformed buttocks due to the large amount of swelling. I ve kept the area iced and elevated. What can I do next? What should I expect?

Hi,

It can be due to neuropathic causes like sciatica. As of now, you can take analgesics like Gabapentin or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
