I woke up this morning with a feeling in my left butt cheek as if someone had kicked it really hard kind of like a dead arm feeling. Anyway i havent done anything to it for it to be like this. Also this morning when laying down i had cramp like feeling down my left leg. Any advice would be great im quite worried as its been constant all day

    I suspect the butt thing is from your piriformis muscle. It is

    located deep in your butt cheek. It's common for men to get it

    from keeping their wallet in their back pocket. But I'm a woman and I had it and it got resolved easily with a trigger point

    injection. I don't know about your leg, although it could be

    radiating pain from the piriformis muscle.

    Hi Charlotte2707

    It sounds as if your developing sciatica. This can get very painful and travel from your buttock down through your leg. You probably will need physio to get some relief. Go see your doc and ask for referral to physio department. In the meantime I would think doc will prescribe painkillers......best wishes.....

    Charlotte,

         I have problems with Sciatica, and it kinda feels like that but not too long ago I found out that deep in your buttocks you have what is called your Pudendal Nerve and the pain from it is horrible also so both of those could be good candidates for what is causing your pain. I wish you luck in finding out for sure. The Pudendal Nerve is really deep in your buttocks though and that makes me lean more towards that.
