How Can Severe Pain Above The Buttocks Upon Sitting And Lying Down Be Treated?

It hurts every time I sit now every time I walk or lay down or do anything all I feel is a shooting pain at the top of my butt crack. I think it’s a cyst of some kind but I need to get rid of it cause it hurts really badly. I couldn’t sleep at all last night cause of the pain, I kept waking up sweating. Please tell me there’s a way I can get rid of it and numb the pain so I don’t have to go to a doctor ??

Hi,

It might be a neuropathic pain like Sciatica. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Gabapentin for pain relief. If symptoms persist, you can consult an orthopedics and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
