What helps to relieve pain in my butt?
I have been having pain in my butt when I sit and sometimes getting up from a sitting position is stressful. Sometimes pressing on the tail end of my spine/butt is painful. OIA

The tightness in your buttocks may be related to the piriformis muscle bilaterally. Google exercises for it.
McKenzie method is a set of exercises developed by a NewZealand physiotherapist. Books that are lay friendly are available on Amazon, search Robin McKenzie.

1 ReactionThank you for your advice. Are you a PT?
Sounds like you might have a tight piriformis muscle that is putting pressure on your sciatic nerve. You may need physical therapy or Google piriformis exercises. ☮️
No. I'm an RN.
Has anyone tried acupuncture for spinal pain?
No, but it’s on my list to try. Currently pain management is taking care of most of my pain. There is one spot that needs some attention and I’m wondering if acupuncture might do it.

2 ReactionsI was having problems with my sitting bone on my left side and have had injections to relieve pain, but that is a temporary fix if it worked at all! I was just diagnosed with Nutcrackers syndrome after having serious problems the last 13 years
I have been having serious issues for 15 years with my sitting and now even standing, mostly bed ridden. I am going to see a vascular surgeon because they just saw that I have Nutcracker’s syndrome and this might be why it hurts to sit , I’m not sure yet, very painful and frustrating,
What is nutcrackers syndrome? Do you have spinal stenosis?
