What helps to relieve pain in my butt?

It feels like I’m sitting and lying on a pile of rocks. Ortho told me I have a pinched nerve in L4. It’s affected my left leg with knife like pains and extreme tightness that hasn’t gone away in months. I get a little relief from Extra Strength Excedrin
Has anyone tried acupuncture for nerve pain?????????

I also have issues in my lumbar area, including bulging disc toward the center of my spine and stenosis. I also have a condition called DISH. When I was having an MRI for GYN issue they noticed that I had bilateral gluteal tendon tears. So they said they couldn’t do anything about it. I said well I read that physical therapy can sometimes help. And sometimes stretching. So I went to physical therapy and started with land therapy, but ended up in the water with aqua therapy. I’m done with physical therapy now, but I still do my stretches in the water at the local Y. I too have the pain that goes into my hip and sometimes runs down the front of my leg. I have gotten injections in the lumbar spine and SI joint as well. I also take 1000 mg of Tylenol twice a day, and when it gets really bad, I take ibuprofen. Ibuprofen can do a number on me otherwise but when the pain is really bad I need to take some thing.
I hope that this helps you. I wish you the best luck feeling better..

I have similar pain without the “rocks” feeling just tight quads. I have been doing pt with message, heat & stim. Then go to aqua therapy 2x week. this has alleviated the tightness. Take gabapentin 2
at night with sleep3 otc and it helps. Sorry 😣
