Painful buttocks

I was wondering if anyone ever feels burning sensations in their butt cheeks. I struggle with this after sitting for awhile. My lower back and thigh bones are also affected.

  1. Sounds like piriformis syndrome to me.

    1. I don't know. I know it's miserable.

  2. Yes, nana2. Sitting kills me. I thought it was PS, but had injections, including Botox, and it didn't resolve it. But mine is achey rather than burning.

    1. yes, it's quite achy. It affects my back and thighs as well.

  3. Yes. I take Cosentyx every other week and Sulfasalazine. I was diagnosed with mild RA and HLA-B27-related arthritis in the sacrum. I have a great deal of tendinosis. I do yoga twice a week and it helps. Working at a desk kicks my arse, though. But I would tell your doctor that it is preventing you from getting the exercise you need.
    At my next visit, I might ask about Skyrizi next time which goes after a different IL.

    1. it's not helping as much as I need it to.

    2. I have tendon issues also

  4. I take Taltz injections. I take one monthly. Cleared my skin 100%. I know it helps with the arthritis as well, I have osteoarthritis as well. I have a hard time determining what's hurting the most. It's my fingers, knees, back and toes.

    1. I'll ask about Taltz.
