Piriformis syndrome
Piriformis is the muscle between your upper thigh and the lower back. This muscle may be inflamed or injured to the extent of pressuring the sciatic nerve, running from the lower spine to the butt. Consequently, you develop sciatica pain felt between the butt and back of the leg. The pain increases with running or going upstairs. You can relieve it by stretching the piriformis muscle.
Bursitis
Bursitis originates from bursae inflammation. Bursae are the fluid-filled sacs that cushion your bones. It mostly influences the shoulders, elbow, knee, and hip. Butt pain may come from ischial bursa- located in the butt, inflammation. Its signs include:
- Swelling and redness
- Pain moving through your back thighs
- Lying or sitting is painful
The injury might come from excessive sitting on hard surfaces. But you can ease the symptoms through exercises, such as hip ridges, lying side leg raises, or lying leg circles.
Herniated disk
The spine is cushioned by small paddings called disks. A herniated disk has an external tear that possibly lets out inner components. It can put tension on surrounding nerves, causing numbness, pain, and weakness. Suppose the herniated disk is in the lower back spine, you might feel pain in your butt going down the leg. The signals include;
- Weakness
- Tingling
- Numbness
Other causes include obesity or jobs involving too much shifting of heavy objects. Old age is another cause due to degenerative disks. Changing your lifestyle can help ease the symptoms. I recommend seeing the doctor if the pain does not go away after some time. You may require imaging tests, including x-rays, to check the pain’s origin. This way, you can get a treatment plan suitable for the condition inside.
