Pain in the buttocks from sitting in a chair can be caused by poor circulation in the buttocks, sciatic tuberosity bursitis, gluteal fasciitis, and so on. The causes of the disease are different, and the treatment methods are different. Common treatments include general treatment, medication, physical therapy and so on.
1. Poor blood circulation in the buttocks: when sitting in a chair, the buttocks are compressed. If you sit for a long time, it will easily lead to poor blood circulation in the buttocks, and even ischemia and hypoxia, lactic acid accumulation, causing soreness and pain in the buttocks. Hip pain caused by this condition can be relieved by leaving the seat and moving around. If the pain is serious, you can apply hot compresses to the painful area, which is conducive to blood circulation and pain relief.
2. Sciatic tuberosity bursitis: The sciatic tuberosity is a raised part of the ilium, which is in contact with the stool surface when sitting. If you suffer from sciatic tuberosity bursitis, you will feel pain in your buttocks when you sit down and press on the sciatic tuberosity. Diclofenac sodium ointment can be used topically to improve blood circulation, relieve pain and eliminate inflammation. If the symptoms are serious, you can have an internal bursa closure drug injection.
3. Gluteal Fasciitis: If you suffer from gluteal fasciitis, the gluteal fascia is in a tense state when you are sitting, which will easily cause pain in the buttocks. Physical therapy, such as localized hot compresses, electromagnetic therapy, acupuncture, etc., can be used to promote blood circulation and relieve pain. Painkillers such as ibuprofen extended-release capsules can also be used to relieve pain.
In addition, hip pain when sitting in a chair may also be caused by sacroiliitis, caudal vertebrae cryptorchidism and so on. Patients are advised to visit the hospital in time for the doctor to diagnose the cause and give targeted treatment.
