A member asked:
Soreness on bottom right buttock area. not the coccyx. more so the actual butt cheek (sorry). wondering if my sciatic nerve is inflamed? or is this a cyst forming? any idea how to rid myself of the pain?

This does not sound like sciatica, but more like a cyst or abscess forming, although it is difficult to say without seeing exactly where it is. Would recommend warm compresses to the area several times/day and ibuprofen or acetaminophen if you have no contraindication to taking those. Watch for increased pain, redness, fever. Please see your doctor if continues or worsens.
