I have had upper buttock pain that feels like a tooth ache. It hurts to sit for a long period of time and lying on my stomach, curling my legs up doesn t help. This is the first time it has been constant since Wednesday. I was told I have arthritis across the top of my buttocks. Should I go back to the doctor? They put me on Meoxicam 15 mg once a day but it isn t helping any more. Got it 5/20/14
