Hi, I ve had left side buttock pain for about six months. The pain is worse whitest sitting when the pain can travel down my leg also lying in bed especially when turning over in my sleep can be very painful. I have just had my 65th birthday I very active, play golf three times a week and aerobics class twice week and walk my King Charles Cavalier dog most days. My weight is in the right category for my height and age and I have a good heathy diet and afford alcohol as I suffer from migraines. Regards June
It is a symptom suggestive of some nerve compression therefore needs to be evaluated soon before irreparable damage occurs. It could also be purely a musculoskeletal issue however lasting for almost six months is worrisome. Kindly visit your physician or better still, an orthopedic who may advise an MRI scan and clinch the diagnosis.
