I have severe pain I my gluteal muscle region area, going on 5 days since I slipped on ice but did not fall just jerked my body and the next day very painful went to clinic and they suspect it is tore or ruptured in that area. I'm on a second muscle relaxer and neither work. I need to get a ultra sound or more costly a MRI? I'm new to my insurance.

Hi,
As a physician I would like to tell you that from your symptoms you might be suffering from a Torn muscle in your gluteal area. You have to undergo a MRI to determine the damage to the tissue and exact cause of your pain.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question. Have a nice Day.
Regards,
Dr. Abhijeet
