Q: I have pain in both my buttocks, in all probability due to excess use of bike. I rested for a week put the pain resurfaced. A doctor said that the muscles in the butt area have become weak and gave me some oxide tablets plus suggested a massage. The condition has still not improved.

A:It appears that you have developed muscle strain and this can take upto 3 week to heal and I would advise you to continue the treatment and stop using the bike for sometime till you are perfectly alright.
