Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Buttocks

I m having a lot of pain in my buttocks when I sit down or especially when I stand up after sitting, also when bending over to pick up something on the floor. I ve looked at some sites, they all seem to be selling a device or program-no real advice. It s a very painful and rather embarrassing condition. I am sixty seven years old

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you may be having osteoarthritis of both hips as it is common in your age. It can be confirmed by x-pelvis with both hips AP view. Its treatment is diacerine and glucosamin. For pain relief you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen. Vitamin B and C are helpful in recovering. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
