Buttcheek pain?

while at work my right butt cheek starts to kill me. It's not in the middle of the cheek but at the top of my ***. Someone said said that it could be my ciatic (don't know the proper spelling of that, sorry) nerve. What is that and what can I do to make it stop hurting?
Answer:
Your sciatic nerve is being pinched. Prolonged sitting and especially hard surfaces escalates the problem. Usually sciatic nerve pinches are caused by herniated disc in the low lumber L-5 to S-1 region.I had a sever pinch of the L-5/S-1 that took immediate surgery to make it live-able. However, I cannot work at a sit down job of more than a couple hours a day. Walking and standing is ok but prolonged sitting is a killer.Sitting with your legs elevated will help relieve the pressure from the sciatic nerve region.
I recommend staying away from Chiropractors but seeing either a Neurologist or an Orthopedic Doctor to see what can be done in your case.Below I pasted an article for you to visit and read up on the condition.Please feel free to see my profile and e-mail if you have any specific questions.GOOD LUCK!

if it's the ciatic nerve you may need to go to a chiropractor. also could be your kidney.. in that case.. you REALLY need to see a doc.

Could be the sciatica,but see your doctor.My problem was inflammation of the sciatica.I was prescribed anti inflammatory medication,and it did the trick.

Knots in muscles can apply pressure that caused numbness, pain and instability (like ones knee buckling)
I would see if a massage therapist can help first. (it will be noticeable and originally painful but improves)
I also use a chiropractor.
For more information on muscles read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
