Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: When sitting on a chair, the sides of my buttocks feel as if they are sinking into a piece of mud, which is very uncomfortable and lacks elasticity.

Why is this happening, and can it be treated?Medical history: This symptom has persisted for over six months.

Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is considered to be a manifestation of lumbar muscle strain caused by cold and fatigue. It can present with symptoms such as lower back pain, waist pain, pain on both sides of the waist, numbness, stiffness, and aching pain in the lumbar muscles. When the nerves are compressed, it may cause pain in the buttocks.I recommend avoiding exposure to cold and overexertion, paying attention to warmth, getting adequate rest, and engaging in appropriate activities. Avoid frequent bending. Consider acupuncture and physiotherapy for treatment. You may also take oral medications such as Etofexor Chlorzoxazone Tablets, Yitangning, Sanqi Shangguan Capsules, and Cyanocobalamin 654-2 to manage the pain.
