What medication is suggested for pain in the upper part of the buttocks?
Patient: Hello, I m having really bad pain on the upper part of my butt crack. It started like 2 days ago and me and my mom thought it could just be soreness from a car accident I was in last month. I looked at in the mirror and I noticed a bump, I couldn t really see it and I haven t been able to tell my mom about it but I don t know what it is and I d really like to at least have an idea of what it could be. If you could please answer my question I d appreciate it Doctor: hi,thank you for providing the brief history of you.A thorough neuromuscular assessment is guided for details.As by going through your history, i could understand that due to the accident in the past you may have damaged the soft tissue. As initially any soft tissue do not give symptoms and as time passes by the slow symptoms arises. For which a Thorough neuromuscular assessment is needed. Also, the symptoms are in the upper part of the but, post assessment, there may be a need of the MRI of the lumbar spine to assess the nerve entrapment, which in most cases is ignored by just taking medication.Post the thorough assessment, if medicine are needed to prescribe they will be done and physical therapy will be advised. Usually people recover with 99% success rate with controlling the symptoms through pain and physical therapy.In my clinical practice after a thorough clinical assessment, the next treatment plan is initiated with physical therapy and medication. We are able to manage 99% success in their symptoms and recovery,I wish the same from you.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
