What Causes Pain In The Buttocks?
I am experiencing pain in both sides of my buttocks at the top to middle and have also be experiencing pain in my right hip joint area. I have tried stretches but it doesn t seem to give me any relief. Any thoughts on what might be causing it and what I can do to help decrease the discomfort?

Hello,
It could be a neuropathic pain as in sciatica. As of now, you can take drugs like gabapentin for symptomatic relief.
If pain persists better to consult an orthopaedic and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
