Pain in the buttocks on both sides
A pain in the buttocks that occurs on both sides of the buttocks makes one think of a symmetrical incorrect loading of the muscles. In general, muscular problems of the buttocks occur symmetrically much more often than joint problems or nerve involvement. After intensive training of the gluteal muscles or excessive stair climbing, pain can be felt on both sides the following day.
Strains can also occur on both sides. It is possible that a problem of the nerves occurs on both sides, but it is less common.
