What Causes Severe Pain And Bruising In The Buttocks?

I fall hard on a step. Bruised my left butt deep. While the bruise was tender it was healing, so I thought. I started moving as normal and the 1st of the year got hit with the exercise bug, however, yesterday I began pain in that same area and hour by hour the pain in unbearable today. Should I wait it out?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain and bruising in the buttocks . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like wrong posture , injury , vitamin B12 or E deficiency , nerve compression , disc problem or sciatcia . Herinated disc or compressed fracture can also cause such symptoms . Bruising can also occur due to allergic reaction , hematoma or local infection .I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant ,anti inflammatory , or recommend physical therapy along with vitamin supplement or surgery in disc problem . For now apply warm compresses to back and buttocks , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take proper rest .Doctor may also refer you to dermatologist.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
