Back and Buttocks Pain

Back and buttocks pain is a very common combination of symptoms. Many lower back pain syndromes affect the buttock muscles, as well. Pain in the buttocks and lower back can be extremely severe and limit the mobility of the patient, since these are the very muscles which allow us to maintain our upright posture and facilitate movement.

Back and Buttocks Pain Causes

There can be many reasons for pain in the lower back radiating into the buttocks. The pain can be burning, shooting, dull or sharp. This pain might be worsened by movement or it might hurt all the time.

* Herniated Discs can affect the spinal structures in the lower back and the nerves and muscles in the buttocks.

* Sciatica is a condition where pain in the buttocks and legs is actually more common than pain in the lower back.

* Piriformis Syndrome can create a difficult to diagnose pain problem.

* Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction can create serious buttocks and lower back pain.

* Spinal Stenosis in the lower spine can cause a sympathetic response from nerves and muscles in the buttocks.

* Muscle Injury can affect the injured muscle and those around it. Sympathetic pain in the surrounding tissue is common in lower back muscle injuries. The gluteal muscles in the buttocks can suffer severe pain when affected by muscular back pain.

* Psychological Back Pain can affect ALL the postural muscles in the lower back and buttocks.

* Osteoarthritis can create pain in the back, pelvis and inner hip. This pain often feels like it is originating in the buttocks.

Recommendation on Back and Buttocks Pain

Acute pain in the postural muscles can be debilitating. Some of the worst pain I ever had affected both my lower back and buttocks. The pain created pressure in my body as if something was pushing my pelvis forward violently. I felt like my lower spine was going to explode out of the front of my abdomen!!! This terrible pain created a feeling of dread in me at all times. Fear of a recurrence of pain controlled my life…

It is crucial to get a correct diagnosis when it comes to pain in the lower back and buttocks. The pain might be from a physical cause, but the majority of lower back pain syndromes are caused by psychological issues. Remember…physical treatments will NOT cure a psychological pain syndrome.
