Question 1

what can cause leg and buttock  pain that gets better with walking?   i cant sit for too long without either hurting or tingling. usually one leg

Accepted Answer

Sciatica: Although there are some other possibilities like muscle spasm and pyriformis syndrome, the most likely cause is lumbar disc disease with nerve impingement. To be sure see a spine specialist or PMR doctor who can order neuroimaging and a test like an EMG. Then the next steps after making sure there is no vascular, immune or rheumatologic process would be to initiate PT &amp; possibly  meds or injection

Question 2

aching pain in butt, could i have sciatica?

Accepted Answer

NO!: Butt pain is not sciatica. Sciatica is when the pain goes all the way into your leg following a particular nerve root distribution. "butt" pain is usually referred from the mechanics of the lumbar spine and usually soft-tissue related (muscle, tendon, ligament). Good back stretching exercises, anti-inflammatory meds, phyical therapy, are all great tools to deal with butt pain.

Question 3

sharp pain in butt when bending down and waking / moiving?

Accepted Answer

A couple ....: ..of possibilities.  I suspect piriformis syndrome. This pain is caused from pressure applied to the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle as it passes through or under this muscle. It can also be caused by nerve compression in the lumbar spine/sciatica. Stretch/strengthen of hip flexors/piriformis may help; consider visit to Sports Med/PT for instruction. If persists, pursue eval for sciatica.
