4.real 20 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Playing badminton 2 weeks back I jumped for a shot and got a VERY sharp pain in my lower left buttock. I have never had a problem before.The pain gradually lessened but playing again a couple of days ago I felt it go again. The pain is quite severe .Sitting is a problem as is driving and sleeping. The pain also goes into my upper leg. Anyone any idea of cause or remedy ? Thanks in advance for any response. 4.REAL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who, me ? 1 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Might also be that you have a compressed disc. I highly recommend you to go to BNH and see a Dr at the spine center. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelomsak 6005 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I believe I had a similar problem a few years ago. I went to doctor and ask for physcio he sent to a physciotherapist ( possible spelling error) It was a muscle problem that was fixed in 3 visits of 1 hour each. I have forgotten the name of the machine used sorry. I have had similar muscle problems in the back same machine used. The funny part about my story is I went to Bumrungrad 3 times at a cost of 4500 baht to 6500baht a visit each time they sent me to a hip specialist who couldnot find anything wrong had exrays everything, I felt it was muscle problem but was told I amnot a doctor my opinion doesnot count. So went to general partitioner in pitsanulok he had me in physcio that day> General partitioner costs 150 baht. Physcio 200 baht an hour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAYNEandAEI 4 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 My guess would be sciatic nerve damage. This nerve extends from the lower back and travels all the way down to the feet. The nerve passes through the hip and then along the back of both the thighs...A pinched sciatic nerve, often leads to left hip nerve pain....or a pain in the a** Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDrinker 3539 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 A remedy? Don't play for 10 days and see how it is then. Take some ibuprofen. Quite easy really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraSnakeNecktie 1012 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 google "sciatic nerve stretching exercises". Very common problem and fairly easy to rectify. Also called Piriformis syndrome. The Piriformis muscle can get tight and impede the sciatic nerve. Most cases don't require any professional care. Just have to stretch and improve the muscle balance and postural alignment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC1 512 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 If it is sciatica try this one. I get it sometimes and this exercise is great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4.real 20 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thanks all The video was most helpful...The pain is like that from a sciatica pain as I have had flashes of this pain in the past but only for a second or so. I may have to go to the hospital but it is better to go with some idea of what is wrong. I found the pain traveling into my upper thigh so I strapped up my upper thai yesrerday and spent the day in bed...That has improved things immensely.

sbk 2076 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I had similar sciatic pain, with the pain shooting down my leg. You will need to daily stretches and frankly, don't jump around on your leg for quite some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
