How Can Gluteus Muscle Pain Be Relieved?

Hi I had a tkr of my right knee 3 yrs ago and my hip started to hurt. I have now narrowed the source of the pain to a small muscle at the bottom of my gluteus, maybe obturator internus? I have been working with pt to strengthen the quads & doing clamshell rotator type exercises massively aggravates that area. What should I do to get some relief?

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.I think you may be having osteoarthritic of hip joint. It can be confirmed by x ray of hip joint. Glucosamine is helpful in osteoarthritis.
