Sometimes referred to as deep buttock pain, other causes of this type of pain include spine problems (including herniated discs and spinal stenosis), sciatica, and hip bursitis. The diagnosis of piriformis syndrome is often given when all of these diagnoses are eliminated as possible causes of pain.
1 Infectious bursitis (uncommon) is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery. 2  Bursitis of the hip is the most common cause of hip pain. 3  Trochanteric bursitis frequently causes tenderness of the outer hip. 4  Ischial bursitis can cause dull pain in the upper buttock area.
