Hi,

Causes of pain in the buttocks range from temporary annoyances, such as bursitis, bruising, piriformis syndrome, muscle strain, and shingles, to more serious diseases with long-term consequences, such as cancer, arthritis of the sacroiliac joints, and herniated disc with sciatica.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please get it done X-ray pelvic joint, MRI spine, nerve conduction study. Use cold and warm compression, physical therapy, NSAIDS treatment. If symptoms not improved please consult your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu,
