Pain In The Bum, Literally

[mintymow]

I am experiencing pain over the bone that you sit on, not the tail bone that tucks under your bottom, but the one in the cheek of your bottom, one side only. I had a bit of a stumble, not a fall, a couple of weeks ago and felt an immediate pain over this area. I can't sit down for too long, and also hurts when I walk. Any ideas anyone.

I have this but in my case it's arthritis. I'm sure Dr Sqad will be along to give you his advice. xx

At least you have an idea why you are experiencing the pain.
Likely a direct result of your stumble, be surprised how long areas of the body can ache after a fall. A deep tissue bruise or even bruised bone?

I agree with the two posters above.......

Take ibuprofen.

Of course.......just been thinking........you sit on your ischial tuberosity......

This is quite debilitating as jd says and may last weeks BUT....ischial tuberosity exercised may help and our resident physiotherapist.......the lovely woolfgang, may see your post.
