Hey! Its been more than 3 months since my takedown and I'm getting a lot better at holding it in. But last weekend I was working the night shifts and for some reason I have this pain like in my right butt cheek, kinda feels like I pulled a muscle but not exactly that. I can't sit, lay down or walk without it hurting. Help?

I periodically get something called "piriformis syndrome," which sounds similar. It can be quite crippling, and for folks like us it's a problem when it takes 10 minutes to stagger to the bathroom. You can find stretches for it on YouTube. If it's your priformis muscle those stretches will definitely let you know. I also discovered by accident that prednisone quickly quieted down the inflamed nerve that seems to cause the pain. No one is likely to prescribe it for that, though. Good luck!
