Question
I am undergoing pain in my buttock bone for last 2.5 years. It pinches on the bone upon which we sit and burning sensation is there in the muscles. Its more on the left side of the bone. While standing or running there is no pain, in fact I dont even realise that I have a problem in that area.I have shown to many good doctors but of no use. Few are of the opinion that its bursitis and gave medication for the same. 2 of the doctors also gave steroid shots at that place but I did not get any relief. Please guide what should I do as I cant avoid sitting.

Answer
Your problem cannot be solved with any drugs, it is most likely a structural problem and therefore you would need re-alignment.  Have you tried a Chiropractor in your area yet?  That would be where you should start.  We see that sort of problem all of the time and we get phenomenal results around here, but you are not anywhere near St Louis and so I would recommend trying a general chiropractor first and then we can see if you need to go to a specialist chiropractic clinic like we are.

Yours in Best Health,
