I think I pulled a muscle basically in my right butt cheek Anyway, it's painful to twist my torso or to do certain motions while walking and it hasn't gone away after a couple of weeks so I'm thinking I should go see a doctor. a) what kind of doctor does one see for this sort of thing? b) is there one you can recommend in the Durham area?

Gracias tdub

I would start by seeing an Orthopedic Doctor.

But it could also be a pinched nerve... but I'm not a Doc

No clue who to see in Durham, but I've heard good things about the R.O.C.

They even have an urgent care.

Good Luck. I hope it feels better. My husband is having the same kind of issue. He's sittin on a heating pad hoping it helps.

Yeah I was thinking an ortho would be a good starting point. But I don't want them to be like SURGERY YAY! Last time I went to an ortho for my knee that was his first solution when all I needed was a brace.

Yeah, some do want to get cut happy... in which case a second opinion is necessary.
