This pain in my butt persists...and it's not because of my husband.During Monday's Tir-Na-Nog run I noticed a nagging little pain at the base of my left buttock, deep in the muscle. Assuming I strained my glut running hills I've iced it, taken Aleve, and rested; well somewhat, I went for a short bike ride yesterday.
Today it hurts and it's starting to radiate down my hamstring a bit. I may have actually injured my hamstring where it connects at the ischium....I looked that up....which is located under my gluteus maximus.
I stole someone's ice pack out of the fridge, wrapped it in a plastic bag, and gauze....ahhhh much better.

The pain subsides when I walk around and not sitting all day. I've had two days of rest and I'm going for a run today (7/24/09).

Just stumbled on your blog. The pain may be disc pressure on the sciatic nerve. I know this because I'm dealing with it currently. The first time I felt it, I thought it was a pulled muscle, too. Ice and walking work best, so you're on the right track. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteKerrie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I ran today and although there was still some discomfort it was bearable...much better then Tuesday. I'm going to continue to ice. I won't be running as much next week b.c I'll be on vacation. I hope the extra rest will help as well. Thanks for the advice and I hope you enjoyed the blog.
