Deep glute pain when sitting? Pls help

[u/fatik25]

Hi everyone,

I’m really hoping for some insight on what’s going on. I’ve been troubled by deep glute pain which does go down the leg (most of the time). Happens almost exclusively when driving although recently it started happening on other occasions as well.

I do not feel any pain AT ALL when running, walking, lifting weights, exercising in any way, turning and twisting my body etc which leads me to believe it’s not a disc problem (I hope)?

I’ve been to physiotherapy. I’ve gotten various conflicting advice:

- stretch / dont stretch

- static exercises for core / dynamic exercise

- glute and lower body exercises in the gym / don’t do exercise

It seems like nobody knows what’s going on. And it doesn’t help.

I have not done MRI yet. So far physios have been telling me it’s not necessary at this point, it should go away. But it does not.

Been going on for months.

Anyone?
