I have the same kind of pain you describe in my right buttock. I can't do much . I am in severe pain. I put ice on my butt and that helps, but I don't want to live just sitting on ice packs. Been to acupuncture, PT, cortisone. Nothing works. Now Dr is putting me on pain meds. Maybe they will help. I am keeping my faith in God. He will help me. Marlie
