What Causes Pain In Buttocks While Sitting?
I cannot sit for long as the pain is in my left buttock. I take panadol osteo but I feel it could be lumbago. It is fine when I get up in the morning but half an hour after sitting the pain starts all day. I cannot sit in the car long and I also get a pain in my left foot on the side occasionally when my buttock pain is bad

hi, you have pain i your buttocks on sitting ,which sometimes goes to your left foot. Your pain will be classified as Sciatica since pain occasionally radiates to foot. In my opinion you have a slipped disc causing this kind of pain. I suggest that you take pain killers ,muscle relaxants and pregabalin + physitherapy. If pain does not improve in 7-10 days then go for MRI Back and consult an orthopedic Surgeon.
