This month will be two years that I’ve had this problem. I’ve been to five surgeons and one wanted to do surgery on my spine and the other four said they saw nothing that the first one dead and they don’t know what’s wrong and they came up with the same thing Ischeal bursitis

Hello @mistyb and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sorry to hear that you have had two years of pain without any helpful answers. It sounds like you have seen a number of orthopedic doctors. Has physical therapy ever been suggested? If not, you might consider this. If you have not seen a neurologist, this might also be an important specialist to consult with.
There are also doctors who specialize in chronic pain. Mayo Clinic has a chronic pain clinic and there might be one near you as well. Chronic pain clinics are usually found at larger medical centers, but not at your typical community hospitals. You might search for one in your area if Mayo Clinic is not convenient for you.
Finally, here is a link to an article about Ischial Bursitis that was mentioned in another post, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482285/ please feel free to read this information and see if it applies to your pain situation.
I'd like to invite @rwinney, to this conversation as well. She has visited the chronic pain clinic at Mayo and she might have some suggestions for you.

Have you had any injuries to that area? You might want to consider a peripheral nerve specialist. They are very often also plastic surgeons. Also, have you had an MRI neurography? That will show nerve injury.
