I also have terrible buttock and hip, back pain. Supposedly I was told it was a pinched nerve. Went and had that taken care of but still have the pain. I sit on ice pack then do what I have to do. It’s the only thing that helps. It is a good pain killer. I agree it is frustrating, but what choice do we have?

I have what sounds similar. I have been to a neurologist, who sent me to a PT for McKenzie Method PT, no help. Went to an orthopedic clinic...who gave me a localized injection (No relief). So I use lidocaine/menthol patches at night and when it gets really bad, I use a TENS machine. I have suggested that maybe it is a nerve problem under the piriformis, but I can not get someone to order a scan. I also have Tramadol, which I can use when I don't use the other med, but it is very limited because of fear of addiction. Let me know if you have tried any of these things. I hope you have relief soon...try the patches?
