Pudendal nerve entrapment is a very common cause of chronic buttock pain. It is caused by compression of the pudendal nerve. The symptoms of this condition usually include pain in one or both buttocks during running and pelvic floor dysfunction such as constipation or difficulty voiding, or both. This may be accompanied with symptoms such as numbness and tingling in the groin area extending down into one leg (sciatica). Pudendal neuralgia can affect males and females alike, but seems to be more common than previously thought. If you’re experiencing these symptoms and suspect you might have pudendal entrapment treatment options are available that can help you get back on track!
