Anyone understand why I'm feeling pain in glutes/upper hamstring?
For over a year now, whenever I sit down I gradually get more and more chronic discomfort in the area of my lower back/my glutes/upper hamstrings. It's been very debilitating for me...I have a couple classes with long two hour lectures on hard, non-padded seats and I'm having to make slight shifts in sitting position every 30 seconds to try to less my discomfort. Most of the time it's just in the glutes, but its when it moves into the lower hamstrings that it really bothers me. I don't know if it's just me, or if it's unusual, but I feel like when I'm sitting down I'm sitting on nothing but bone.
When I'm standing, I don't feel it at all, it's only when I'm sitting/lying down. Sometime the pain moves into the side of my hips as well.
I've seen my family doctor, a rheumatologist (arthritis doctor), and a physio and neither of them have any idea what's causing it. I have an MRI scheduled for a couple months from now but I was hoping for some advice. It's not a training injury; I've had it since before I started lifting weights.
But since so many people are experts with the muscular-skeletal system, etc., I was really hoping someone might have some idea as to what is causing this and how to correct it.
