Buttock pain

[Tess1985]

A pain in the buttocks rather than a ‘pain in the bum!’ Anyone have this? It’s worse when resting and better when I am physically active. It keeps getting better and then worse again through the day and changed location around both buttocks too. Sometimes feels like a deep ache, sometimes it just feels hot and burning. The skin feels sensitive too.....

Sounds like an abscess. You should let your G.I. Know. I had one. Ignored it till it got worse. It’s best to start antibiotics right a way just in case.

Thank you for replying. Would pain for an abscess move around though?

[Eixor57 in reply to Tess1985]

Well, it depends. Some people can have more than one abscess at a time. But of course only a GI doc would know. The description of your pain etc reminds me of the pain and burning I had when I had an abscess. It was only one though. Bout there were times when I couldn’t even feel it unless I push hard on that spot. It started internally so it was in deep tissue.

I got a similar thing once and was told it was referred pain during a flare and when the flare got under control the buttock pain went away

Thank you for replying. That’s interesting. It was loads better last week but is starting to niggle again the last few days 🙈 haven’t mentioned to doctor yet as still awaiting diagnosis. Thank you
