What Causes Pain In Leg Under The Buttock And Upper Thigh?
Hello, I have this pain in my left leg. It s right under my buttock and my upper thigh. I have had this pain for about a month and a half. It doesn t hurt when I walk . It only hurts when I squat and when I run. I play baseball so when I run or squat for ground balls my hamstring would hurt. It hurts the most when I lay down and keep my knee to my chest and lift my leg it hurts under my buttock . Do you have any ideas what I have or what I can do to feel no pain and run 100%? And I think I hurt my tailbone also. What does a doctor do when I have two injuries ?

Usually pain in buttock and thigh is because of injury or nerve compression at upper lumbar region, L1L2.
Diagnosis is by clinical examination and MRI if needed. My suggestion is to consult Specialist spine surgeon so that clinical examination can be done properly and treatment advice given.
