Soreness in Right Glute won't to away

Training Q&A [Moderated]

I’m not sure if this belongs to Pain and Rehab section, but I figured it isn’t THAT bad so I decided to post this here.

For months now, I’ve had soreness in my right glute when I squat or deadlift or just when I bend over. I’m not sure if it’s tightness, or DOMS or something else. It’s really annoying. But, tt does feel better when I try to roll it out before my workout.

Does anyone know if it means that the muscle is weak or what I can do to get the soreness to go away?

Thank you Austin,

I’ve seen that video. I guess I never thought of what I was experiencing as something I needed to work around. I just ‘powered’ through by workout dispite some discomfort. I initially just thought it was just DOMs until it lasted for more than a month. But that video made me wonder if it’s some kind of inflamation.

I’ll start working around it like you suggest in the video. But on a side note, is there anything else I can do to help speed up the recovery process, ibuprophen? anything? Or is working around it and not agrivating it good enough?

We would not recommend NSAIDs for this, but rather following the advice of the video.
