Brandi, the pain you describe reminds me of what I felt after ACL surgery. My ACL was replaced with a hamstring tendon graft. Though they took the graft from the knee end of the tendon, I felt A LOT of tenderness on the back of thigh/butt transition when I sat on the toilet. So, I wonder if it's a connective tissue issue (say that 5 times fast !).

If you're having that much pain, I wonder if things are inflamed and heat is contraindicated. Maybe an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen would be more appropriate? Is there a *doc* in the house ?
