What Causes Pain In The Buttocks?
I started having a dull ache in my left buttock last evening. It isn t constant, comes on every ten to twenty seconds. Have pain sitting, walking or lying down. Took Tylenol and was able to sleep, but woke up at 3:00am with the same dull ache. Not stabbing pain, but bad enough to make me very aware of it.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion this pain in the Left buttock , which is constant in all positions ,without any fever could be due to a condition called sacroiliitis ( inflammation of the sacroiliac joint ), or mild slipped disc. I suggest mild pain killers and muscle relaxant for few days failing which you may need MRI of Lumbar spine including Sacroiliac joints.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
