What Causes Soreness In The Buttocks After Lifting Weights?

I work in construction and after work the other day my butt cheek was sore like I had been lifting weights. The next day my rectum was sore and I noticed a small bump on it when I used the bathroom. The soreness has subsided a little but the bump is is still there. Any idea what I could have done or what I should do.

Hello!
I have been through your question.
According your symptoms I think these are hemorrhoids signs.
Usually this could happen when the veins around your anus tend to stretch under pressure and may bulge or swell. Swollen veins (hemorrhoids) can develop from increased pressure in the lower rectum due to straining during bowel movements,
consistent heavy lifting( the most probably cause in your situation) , sitting for long periods of time on the toilet, chronic diarrhea, constipation,obesity,anal intercourse, low-fiber diet. Signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids may include painless bleeding during bowel movements, itching or irritation in your anal region,pain or discomfort, swelling around your anus or a lump near your anus, which may be sensitive or painful. Your doctor can do a physical examination and perform other tests to confirm hemorrhoids and rule out more-serious conditions or diseases.
I hope my answer help you. I wish a quick recovery.
