What Causes Pain In The Buttocks Caused By A Muscle Strain?
also I had a left knee replacement two years age with no complecations, but a sense that some aspect of that leg (strength/length) has exsasserbated the condition above.
Just looking to identify what the muscle problem area issue might be ?
Possible muscle or nerve strain
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
In the high back of the high leg it can be only 2 options, either muscular or a nerve. There are lots of muscles and nerves there. The treatment it is the same for both conditions.
These are my recommendations. Maybe you are already doing some of it, so I hope will be helpful.
-- Take a pain killer regularly. Naproxen 550mg twice/day or Ibuprofen 400 mg 3 times/day. Take it regularely for 2 weeks because it will lower the inflamation except the pain.
-- Use a local analgesic to massage the area. It will enhance the effect without added side effects.
-- Don't overuse your leg for these 2 weeks. Do stretching exercises. Stop walking if it hurts and take time to rest.
-- If not better, if starting to feel weak, then consider physical therapy.
If worse or not better, I would recommend seeing a local doctor.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
