Radiculopathy?: That is a symptom that may be something called radiculopathy. It may respond to physical therapy and sometimes medicine when the pain is very bad. There are even times that surgery is needed. Most cases are not that serious. It is hard to confirm the diagnosis over the internet and an exam/testing is indicated.

Piriformis Syndrome?: You may have a form of sciatica irritated by a muscle called the piriformis which can result in a burning sensation in the right buttock. Having said that I can tell you there are other possibilities which has to do more with hip pathology or hip socket pathology. You really need a good imaging study, a good physical/neurological examination, and POSSIBLY an electrical study (i.e. EMG test).
