Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In The Buttock
I have severe right buttock pain after sitting in a car for about 15 minutes. Cat scans and Mri s show no spinal problems but a bone scan showed increased focal uptake within the right L5-S1 facet joints. Three attempts at steroid injections have not helped. Nor has physical therapy or Chiropratic intervention. ny suggestions? Bob Gallagher YYYY@YYYY

First, modifying the actual trigger of the pain by putting cushioning down and changeing the weight distribution so the pressure isn't right where the pain is. THen medication to lwoer the pain. Aspirin like drugs should be tried. Muscle relaxants might work. Dampers of nerve pain have a small chance of helping particularly oones that work on the transmission of pain in the spine such as amitryptiline
