Woke up with pain in right buttock. sciatic nerve? walking with pain, what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: Hard to say without more info and physical exam, but it could be irritation of the sciatic nerve, either from pinching in your back or at the piriformis muscle. It could also be a muscle spasm, sacroiliac pain, or referred pain from a couple other places in your back. Try stretching, and if it makes the pain worse, stop and see a doc. If it gets better, may be a piriformis spasm.
