What Causes Intense Pain In The Upper Right Thigh Radiating Towards Buttocks?

I ve been experiencing pain in the upper right thigh going into my buttocks for some time now. The pain worsens the longer I sit. Just came off a 5 hour flight from the West Coast to the East Coast and it was not fun. I do a lot of sitting for work and I ve noticed this issue for several months. Walking also gets affected. Any ideas of what this could be?

Hi...

I read your concern...
I feel like your pain is radiating from back and not from thigh...
I do feel it could be due to disc irritating the nerve or vertebral column covering sheaths...
Nothing to worry.. as this has a very effective treatment and excellent recovery..
If I were your treating doctor I would suggest you...to do..

Lot of icing.. frequently​...
Spine extension exercises twice daily..
cobra stretch more frequently like 30 rep in 6 days in a day...
Core stability exercise..
Glute stability exercises...

Kindly revert back after 2 weeks with progression to guide you further in this regard...
