Brief Answer:
Can be plantar fasciitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.

From your symptoms, it seems that you are suffering from plantar fasciitis. It happens due to inflammation of the plantar fascia. The pain in buttocks can be due to mild inflammation under coccyx.

A short term rest and oral anti inflammatory drugs are required to take care of the inflammation.
To help the pain, ice the feet immediately after getting up in the morning. You can use either a store-bought cold pack or a frozen wet towel. Ice for 10 or 15 minutes. To reduce inflammation, take an aspirin or ibuprofen at mealtime.

Shoe inserts are often the key to successful treatment of plantar fasciitis. The shoe inserts often permit patients to continue their routine activities.

If the pain does not resolve, an injection of cortisone can decrease the inflammation of plantar fasciitis.

You may need few physiotherapy sessions along with prescription anti inflammatory drugs after getting yourself examined from an Orthopedician.

I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

Brief Answer:
Taking anti inflammatory like Brufen will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The same pain killer or anti inflammatory will work for buttock pain also. Avoid sitting on hard surfaces.
Both these problems are due to inflammation and will subside with proper treatment. It can happen to anyone.
Hope my answer is helpful.
