What causes buttock pain?

Sitting for 9 hours in office chairs is a major cause of buttock and lower back pain. I had to invest in an ergonomic cushion and start taking brief walking breaks every hour. Save yourself the long-term pain and book a quick physical therapist consult this weekend.

I had this pain last month and my mind immediately jumped to severe nerve damage and spinal slips. It turned out to be just a simple muscle knot from an awkward sleeping posture. Please don't stress yourself out searching online, just get a doctor to check it to ease your mind.

In our days, we used to apply warm mustard oil infused with garlic to soothe deep muscle aches in the back and hips. While this home remedy can give you temporary relief from soreness, please see an orthopedic doctor if the pain is making it hard for you to walk.

Sometimes muscle spasms in the gluteal region can be triggered by low magnesium or Vitamin D3 levels, which is quite common in vegetarian diets. Ensuring you get enough sunlight and eating magnesium-rich seeds can help, but please verify with a blood test and consult your doctor.
