Pain in buttock, outer hip and hamstring

I too have the same pain, but in both sides. I was told by three neurosurgeons that this is caused by lumbar stenosis, spondylilithosis, and pinched nerves in my lower lumbar vertebrae. I also had PMR which began last March, so it’s hard to tell the difference with the pain. Physical therapy has helped me tremendously, as it has taught me the correct way to move. Movement does help too!

Thank you reets.
I have the same lumbar problems as you. I also have listhesis, where one vertebra slides forward relative to the vertebra below. I guess the only thing I don't have right now is any pinched nerves, and to ne that means sciatica. I have been through sciatica twice, the second tie with surgery to remove a ruptured disc and remove arthritic growth causing stenosis.
My surgeon tells me the only thing standing between me and multiple-vertebra fusion surgery is my strong core muscles. So I'll keep exercising and hope for the best.
