Where is this butt pain coming from?

D. NocerinoMember

Hey! Its been more than 3 months since my takedown and I'm getting a lot better at holding it in. But last weekend I was working the night shifts and for some reason I have this pain like in my right butt cheek, kinda feels like I pulled a muscle but not exactly that. I can't sit, lay down or walk without it hurting. Help?

Maybe an abscess? You should contact your doctor.

Definitely isn't an abscess, feels more like I pulled something awkwardly.

I periodically get something called "piriformis syndrome," which sounds similar. It can be quite crippling, and for folks like us it's a problem when it takes 10 minutes to stagger to the bathroom. You can find stretches for it on YouTube. If it's your priformis muscle those stretches will definitely let you know. I also discovered by accident that prednisone quickly quieted down the inflamed nerve that seems to cause the pain. No one is likely to prescribe it for that, though. Good luck!

Yeah for sure I won't be on prednisone there were diligent to get me off it because I was on such a high dose while I had UC disease it took months to taper off. Will definitely ask my doc tomorrow about it. I'm also starting to get like an upset stomach but my diet has nothing to do with it.
