Hi LucyLou - Sorry to hear about your neuropathy and buttock pain. My neuropathy actually started in my feet and has worked its way all the way up to my buttocks over the last 16 years. I also may have some scar tissue in my buttocks. I had an injury several years ago in which I backed into an industrial fan and got my butt terribly bruised. Not sure if that is playing a role but the physical therapist said I could have nerve entrapment due to scar tissue in the piriformis and glut meteus muscles. I think mine is a combo of actual nerve damage and soft tissue nerve entrapment. I am scared to have the EMG results, but also happy to finally have some diagnostic evidence.

I hope we both get some helpful answers.

I also have RSD and PN. The injury you stated made me think of RSD as also a dx for you. I have both. I could be so wrong but just a thought you may want to read up on. Hang in there and I hope you can get some proper treatment
