Waldo Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Have a slight pain in the bum (no joke). Feels like it could be a strained muscle, possibly too much exercise (running). Had it 2 or 3 days now. Not sure it merits a trip to GP (probably would be gone by time appointment came round), but any suggestions to treat muscle strain in bum? Could call in at pharmacy tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattricia Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Go to GP as soon as possible, as he will examine it. Otherwise until then a sports cold pack on the area will reduce any swelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve68 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I have this now and then, alternating heat and cold and take ibuprofen, mines normally down to the Sciatic nerve. I have an injection every few months which sometimes irritates the nerve and can last up to a week normally 3-4 days. other causes in the past have been from exercising too much (running), I had an assessment done by Simon Till a few years ago , it was well worth seeing someone like him, if it's something that becomes a longer term issue, as he diagnosed a labral tear in my hip and osteoarthritis. if it continues see your G.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Thanks for suggestions everyone. It feels like a sprained muscle, it’s definitely in he muscle area of bum rather than a joint etc. My best guess would be running injury; have been upping my monthly mileage and did long runs on Monday and Wednesday. Never had it before though, and ran a lot in the past, but then, I was younger in the past... Will rest it a bit. Have some Ibruprophen gel and Deep Heat at the ready!

Lex Luthor Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Warm bath, with rosemary oil or fresh rosemary or Epsom salts. Rest. Wear supportive cushioned trainers, even when walking around house. Gently apply voltarol gel or ibuprofen gel and consider stick on heat pads.

Remember it’s cold packs for swellings and heat for stiffness.Also the best rub in cream I’ve found to be Voltarol. Rest it well, no more running for awhile !

Guest Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Get a lacrosse ball, sit on it where the pain is- will hurt but trust me, breaks down muscle and loosens it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
