A member asked:
Posterior hip pain when seated on hard floor is this more indicative of si jt pain or lumbar referred pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is one variable: Posterior (gluteal) hip pain is most commonly caused by pathology involving the lumbar spine or the sacroiliac joint & less likely caused by an unusual presentation of hip joint pain. This should be differentiated with deep pelvic pathologies which may refer pain to this area. The specific seated posture which aggravates the pain can serve as a clue. The diagnosis has more than one variable.
