I used to call it a lower back pain or buttock pain. I knew also about bursitis. Now I learned the new correct name of my problem is "sit bone pain". I have been having it for a few years. My remedy is only rest, walking, sitting on good cushioned chair, less use of hard chair, avoiding long time sitting, changing posture in about every half hour, rest with lying on soft bed, no use of any medicine, drinking normal and cold water help me a lot . I am fit for almost all activities commensurate with my age. Thanks for giving me additional knowledge.
I’ve been suffering from intense pain in this region for 3 years now. Before that I was a kayak racer and I’d train or race in the kayak 3-5 days a week for 2+ hours each, and on my bike 1-2 days a week for 3-4 hours each. The pain is so intense I had to retire as a computer programmer because I can’t sit at a computer for any length of time. I also can’t paddle or bike, or even ride in a car for more than about an hour. In the 3 years, I’ve had diagnoses of ischial bursitis, high hamstring tendonopathy, sciatica, demylenization of the sciatic nerve, and probably others I don’t recall. I’ve had corticosteroid injections in the sciatic nerve (high and low), the ischial bursa, the hamstring, and I’ve also had PRP. Nothing has given even temporary relief. One doctor recommended an ischial bursectomy but I can’t find a doctor who will do it. I’m basically stuck in bed most days. My life sucks and I wish it would end.

Me too. It has taken almost 3 years to even get a diagnosis as I was fobbed off with Fibromyalgia. I have tried physio, strength exercises, steroid injection, strong anti inflammatory drugs and I still cannot sit, stand for long or walk very far. Unable to work so I am basically stuck in my bedroom all day. Sometimes I wish I could just fall asleep and stay asleep as quality of life is poor. If I do too much I feel like I will pass out from the pain. It feels like my leg is being pulled off plus electric shocks down leg and all over my pelvis. I feel like a burden to my partner 😞
Sorry to hear that you are suffering. Me too have been in pain for almost 3 years. I have asked for help from more than 20 doctors, more than 20 MRIs, CTs, USs, and other tests. Have tried almost every treatment from pain (nerve) doctors. I even had a surgery to remove my posterior femoral cutaneous nerve. Hope we find relief.
Very useful video on sit bone pain dr andrea .which has good detailed information about cause therapy and avoiding activities and other associated issues ....good one ..sorry dr i wasnt in position to comment watch other videos due to personal issues .hereafter i will watch thank u
Following a very difficult childbirth at age 20 (50 years ago) I have had intense burning in the deep perineal and anal area. In last 15 years, this has now localized to a large deep area surrounding anus, worse when sitting and especially when lying down. I cannot sit on hard surfaces or sit straight up, must lean forward to extend sitting time a little, or sit on one buttock. To sleep I place a hot water bottle (frozen) between buttock cheeks; this continuous cold every night for many years has damaged the quality of the skin it touches and that skin appears fragile and of different texture but..no choice. The freezing cold seems to numb the deep burning enough that I can sleep. I've had this MRI'd, checked out by urogynecologist...no answers. This has greatly affected my work and personal life. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1989, and small fiber peripheral polyneuropathy last year. Any thoughts, doctor?
Can you do a video on popping hips after replacement hip surgery which causes pain like sciatica or the sit bone pain. How to get rid of popping of hip.
I went to sitdown and missed the chair! I am 86 yrs and in lots of pain in low pelvis sacriiliac? Xrays show no fractures. I use walker but cant take steps without severe pain (even with 2 xtstrengh tylenol)x3 a day. Using hot and cold compress) now 4 days rest. Hard to sleep or sittin. No pain until have to walk or turn in bed or get out of bed.
Best thing i ever did was throw out my old broken down office chair and invest in a good quality one with good support, i would say 70% of my discomfort went away in a week

Carissima dottoressa, la scrivo dall'italia, da 1 anno che soffro di osse ischiatiche sporgenti, ho avuto anche la sindrome del Piriforme, ma adesso sono guarita, ma ultimamente peggioro a stare seduta, pur con cuscini adatti, sento gli spuntoni delle ossa ischiatiche, e più sono seduta, e più mi causa dolore, bruciore, ho fatto fisioterapia e Osteopatia, ma non ho concluso niente. Ho avuto due cadute sui glutei, non so se sarà anche per queste cadute. Ma si guarisce, o non potrò più stare seduta a vita. Sono disperata. Mi aiuti con un consiglio. Grazie.
Very interesting. My daughter has just had a baby and has serious pain in her tail bone. The doctors didn't seem very concerned but they don't have the pain. I was wondering will this go away on its own and hiw common is it and the best self treatments Thanks in advance
I am from Germany and I have chronic Face Pain (Tooth Pain) and Trauma from Childhood. I know now alot about the Pain itself but I need the exact steps and exercises I should do. Can you help me?
Quads extend knee and hamstrings flex knee. I dont understand the part you explained that hamstrings extend knee while they “bend the knee backwards”. Do I misunderstand what you meant?
Thank you Dr. Furlan. Always good ideas. I have pain on right side, that is worse when driving especially long trips. Many years ago I fell on the ice and bruised my bottom on that side. Could this injury be related? I do walk as much as possible to keep fit and stretch. I will try some more hamstring stretches.
Thank you for the information on sit bone pain. Developed it in my car, probably related to race car style seat. Ended up getting a styrofoam cushion that helped some. In the end I got rid of the car.

Hi Charlyn, I'm sorry you had to get rid of the car.
