Buttock fall: May be musculoskeletal, try ice 10 minutes on 50 minutes off, Motrin( if not allergic) ,Epsom salt bath ( 1/4 cup in bath x 15-20 minutes). If persists (more then 48 hours) consider x-ray to make sure you did not fracture a vertebra,hip or coccyx (tailbone). If you have leg weakness, uneven leg length, bowel or bladder issues blood in urine, that is a medical emergency and go to ER .

I'm having hip pain on my left side and buttock, it hurts when I move my leg. It started last week a day after I went shopping and now it started a day after shopping again. Is it caused by the way I walk or that I normally don't walk that much?
