I have a pain in the butt!

Hello all

A week or two ago I had a sore buttock but only noticed it when I sat on an old wooden chair. It faded away but has returned this week and I can feel a swelling in there compared to my right one - I’m thin so there’s not a lot of flesh to grapple with. I’m wondering if I have a pelvis “problem”. It wasn’t sore when I went to bed last night but pain from the exact area woke me a few times during the night so that kinda worries me a little. I don’t want to BECOME a pain in the butt by getting paranoid about this and running to the medics.

Before diagnosis you could hang towels on my bum but the weight loss has put paid to that!!

Anyone out there with a sore behind?

If it’s bothering and worrying you then you should go and see about it. Lots of things turn out to be nothing at all but a little bit of reassurance does us the world of good. It’s not easy to forget about things quite so easily when you’ve had BC. If it’s not better by Monday . . . . .make the appointment.
Good luck with it.

Hi Reg
I know where you are coming from as about 10 months ago i had a pain like you describe only left side.
I couldnt sit for more than 10 minutes. I remember being at a concert and asking if they had a cushion during the interval.

MRI scan revealed a torn tendon, must have been my few visits to the gym and efforts at weight lose did that.

Its better to get any persistant pain checked.
