Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Two days ago I woke up with a sharp pain in my left butt... hurts when I go up steps or up a lightly incline hill... no problem going down steps or down incline hill... if I sit long is hurts to get up... annoying during sleeping... I can feel a very very deep small knott in the center of my butt... should I get a massage to work this out - could it be spasm from an exercise class I took Monday night in Pilates mat class? Thank you JoAnn
hi, sharp localised pain is due to localised trauma. have you history of any injection at that site in recent time?if no , muscular spasm is the common cause for this kind of pain.anti spasmotic treatment (drug and/or physiotherapy)will relive this condition.
if not relived on antispasmotic treatment,further investigation will be required.
