Recently at night I have been having an ache in my left butt cheek\beginning of thigh. This makes it extremely hard to sleep and it's very frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this and do you know why it's happening\how to stop it?

Do you think it could be sciatica? I get it occasionally and it stays localized to my buttock, not the common pain that goes down the leg.
It could be piriformis syndrome, which is surprisingly common. There are stretches you can watch on YouTube that can help considerably (if that's what it is).
It will be 3 yrs since my surgery in Feb and I used to get that ache in left butt cheek all the time, others said theirs was in tailbone area. Now mine only really bothers me if I start having to use the bathroom alot more than usual. It is a sign for me now that I am in a little "flare" as I call it.
