I have severe right buttock pain after sitting in a car for about 15 minutes. Cat scans and Mri s show no spinal problems but a bone scan showed increased focal uptake within the right L5-S1 facet joints. Three attempts at steroid injections have not helped. Nor has physical therapy or Chiropratic intervention. ny suggestions? Bob Gallagher YYYY@YYYY
First, modifying the actual trigger of the pain by putting cushioning down and changing the weight distribution so the pressure isn't right where the pain is. Then medication to lower the pain. Aspirin like Chat Doctor.  Muscle relaxants might work. Dampers of nerve pain have a small chance of helping particularly ones that work on the transmission of pain in the spine such as amitriptyline
