Try visiting a Chiropractor or Doctor of Ostiopathy (DO). If adjustments don't get you relief, then you will want to go back to your PCP for additional suggestions. Most Muscular skeletal misalignments can be helped with therapy and spinal adjustments.

Pain in your butt could be sciatica. That is pain caused by back problems. You should see your doctor. Good luck.

Does the pain in the butt travel down into the leg? I've had this and it is sciatica.

I've had the same problem since surgery and the regular visits to my Chiropractor have eased it considerably. His reason for the pain was with the weight loss there is a lot of postural changes going on. I don't have pain that radiates down my leg though so that's how we knew mine wasn't my sciatic nerve. Good luck!

I haven't had RNY yet but lost about 50# 3 yrs ago and had same butt pain, it did go down leg if I didn't change my position,or stand for a while. I swear it was caused when I lost wt. (had less padding). It eased after a few months but came back when I fell...**Stand or sit on soft--helps
