What Causes Discomfort In Upper Leg Beneath The Buttocks?
I have discomfort at the top of my leg in the back where it meets the buttocks. This is noticeable primarily when walking or sitting. There are no lumps, redness, rash - nothing whatsever. This has been going on for a couple months and steadily is more prevalent - altho not so that I can t bear it. I just worry that it s some kind of clot altho reading the internet, I don t seem to have any symptoms of a clot. Any ideas?

Hi,
In my opinion I think it is a kind of nerve compression or sciatica which have many causes but no main cause but it is due to nerve compression of your lower spine or certain underlying diseases like DM. I suggest you may ask your specialist for MRI, CT for proper diagnosis. Please give positive feedback if the information was helpful.
Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
