I see similiar questions on here regarding the upper right buttock pain but I believe mine may have enough differences to warrant another question. 10 years ago I took off my house framing toolbelt and hung it up for a supervisor position believing it would be better for my body. A year later I was still putting it on occasionally but for the most part I was supervisor only. The da my pain first struck I put my belt on in the morning and walked about 200 feet. The pain hit hard and I had to take the belt off and sit down. When I got back up I could barely stand or walk. The pain was excruciating in my upper right buttock. I saw the doctor and went to physio and the pain subsided but never went away. Today the pain is still with me and it's really affecting my life now. I can sit or lay all day long... I can run, or walk with purpose for any length of time, but I can't stop and stand for any length of time. Activities that require me to stand for longer than a couple minutes like my job as a supervisor, standing in lines, cooking, standing at a sink to wash something or groom, working on a car, standing and chatting, shopping.... they all cause pain. Lately my right knee has been bothering me as well, usually after the butt pain starts to flare up. It may be a separate issue but I thought I would mention it. I should also say it's not radiating. I have isolated pain in the butt, and the knee. I have done extensive research but can't find any one thing that it could be without a doubt. I guess I'm leaning towards sciatica or compression fracture. Can anyone say they have similiar symptoms? I recently had another x-ray and I am waiting to speak with my doctor for results. Unfortunately my confidence is not high for a successful diagnosis.. I figure if they didn't find it 10 years ago they likely won't now either. Can anyone possibly provide some more insight?

I have pain in my butt also (gluteal pain) that is a burning ache like pain; but unlike you, it only hurts when I walk. Although I have some torn muscles, several docs I have seen are convinced it is due to my spinal stenosis. Interestingly I had major spinal surgery a year ago to address the stenosis and although it cured my sciatic pain, the burning butt pain continues (which I had before the surgery, so it' obviously not from the surgery). No one knows what it is or what to do. I have been to Pain Management, a Neurologist, an Orthopedic, PT, Sports Medicine and a Vascular doc ... no one can figure it out. Someone else on this site had something similar and felt it could be neurogenic claudication which I am no researching. If anyone has something similar I would love to hear from them.
