What Causes Pain Between Buttocks?
I ve had deep pain in the middle of my left buttocks for about a week. This pain sometimes throbs, sometimes is steady pain and sometimes runs down to the middle of my thigh. It s driving me nuts...I walk 3-5 miles a day and am very active. Massaging relieves temporarily as does deep stretching on that side....don t feel it s anything serious but is becoming annoying since the pain has persisted for at least a week. I ve been taking Advil and don t know if I should be worried about anything...any thoughts?

Hi welcome to health care magic
Your symptoms suggest that you have either sciatic nerve strerch ( Sciatica) or muscle stretch
Since its just a week there is no need to worry and u didn't to do any investigation as both are slf limiting condition.
U just take analgesics and do physiotherapy and avoid strenuous activities .I am sure u will be better in few days
Wishing u a speedy recovery
