What Causes Pain And Swelling Under The Buttocks?

Hello, I have had this problem before but it is currently lasting longer. The area of my thigh, under my right buttocks is swollen, tight muscle, and very sore. Before it was only a couple hours of pain dealt with some ibuprofen and I was fine but now it has last for over a week. I am not sure what it could be.
