Butt Problem

[Jordan719]

Whenever I sit down on firm surfaces I have pain kind of around my butthole. It is relieved when I get up unless I sit for too long. Also when ever I turn corners in my car it hurts at the mid-top of either side of my butt. I have had a lurabar sacral MRI that scanned the coccyx that said it turned out fine. Any ideas?

Hi Jordan

Havent got any ideas but i can sympathise with what you are feeling.

I have had mostly left buttock pain for the last 3 years.
Carnt lie on that side and have to sit mostly on my right buttock.

I have had loaRAB of tests and treatments and am non the wiser.
I use a hot water bottle when i am sitting but it is constant.

If you find some relief let me know!!

Honey, unfortunatelly no tests which shows all damages with 100% accuracy.
I went for my spinal lurabar fusion with other work on a spine but it was never mentioned something about same area you have problem as well.

My surgery instead of expected 6-7 hours was almost 10 hours. My Dr was shocked when they opened me up how much damage i had right in that area.
I had so many MRI, Ct, discogramm, you named and it was never even mentioned any problems there.
Because it was so bad, he done much more work than I expected.
So this is just my experience I want to share with you.

Believe or not i had a second fusion surgery since than but that area is still my concern: hard to seat and than get up especially if you seat longer than you suppose to.
Buy yourself a nice special pillow under your behind, it helps a lot to seat.
BEst of luck to you!

Hi! One thing I have found that helps is a wedge shaped cushion with a cut out for your tailbone. They sell them at most medical supply stores. I have arthritis in my sacroiliac joints, and I use this pillow when I drive or at my kiRAB' ballgames, etc. Also , I ice a lot and my doctor prescribed a TENS machine which helps too. Good luck-I know how frustrating it can be. Kera4
