Why in the world does my butt cheek hurt? Almost like I pulled a muscle and I did nothing to cause that. It has been on and off for a few weeks. Makes it very uncomfortable to walk. Anyone else have this or know what would cause it?
I had this exact thing and thought it was from picking my niece up but the chiropractor said it was the muscle. I couldn't walk without it hurting and when I would turn a certain way it was worse. I got adjusted a few times and it has gotten a lot better! He said its the muscle that sits above your sciatica so it can cause that to hurt as well. He adjusted right above my hip the last time and I could definitely feel a difference.
Definitely sciatica. Sometimes I'll bend over and won't be able to stand up straight because the pain is so sharp in my right butt cheek, haha. If I wake up in the middle of the night my legs and lower back are achey and uncomfortable too. I think I need to get me a snoogle.
I am really glad you asked this! I have had some pain as well and thought I just somehow pulled a muscle in my butt at work. It never occurred to me it could be sciatica! I kind of though the was more leg pain, but I never looked into that much. I guess it is just nice to have a reason for it and know I am not the only one.
I am 13 weeks, and have had the same awful pain for about 4 weeks now. No signs of it getting any better, it actually has been hurting much worse the past few days.
Sorry to hear that! It could be sciatica, but it could also be your it band- often the pain is felt right in the middle of your bum cheek. I'm a yoga instructor; google images of reclined gomukhasana (also called cow faced pose) and reclined pigeon pose. Hopefully stretching will make you feel better.
