Can The Reduction Of The Size Of Buttocks Reduce Back Pain?

I am a male 21 years of age. Im 5 10, 245. I lift weigts 4 to 5 days a week. Recently i have been having alot of back pain, and i think its due to my oversize buttox. I am not fat, i have no problem running miles and i dont think its due to lifting. I do have a job where i sit in a chair all day, but i do get up and stretch. But i recently while im running my back has been hurting, or just little things have been causing pain. I have a 38 waist but around my butt is 44, so jean shopping is difficult. I just would like to know if a buttox reduction would help, and before i go to the doctor what are some question that i should ask while there.

Hi
You appear to be physically fit from weights and exercise but your back issue could be due to lower spine problem. prominence of the buttocks can be the result of a lordosis which causes the buttocks to protrude.
Long hours of desk work and poor work posture contributes to this.
Your doctor needs to Xray the low back to look for spinal deformity and for muscle spasm and also see if reduction of buttock size can help resolve this.Buttock reduction is a plastic surgery procedure and needs evaluation by that speciality.so your questions will be:
do I have spinal deformity or muscular spasm?
do I have a lordosis and how do I correct this?

I find this answer helpful
