I have been experiencing what I thought was an upper back pain that I have already had but really it is more of an upper left buttock pain. I was reading something that led me to think it could be something to do with the sciatic. My running has been getting weaker and weaker instead of stronger. I will be away in Portugal for a few days with no running gear so I have to do a run tomorrow before my flight. I am due for a 23k run but I am thinking that mightn't be so wise. In the morning I will do a gentle little run after some warming up and stretching and then enjoy my time off.
This is an article I read about similar problems.

Ugh. What a pain in the butt, literally. I don't know Bud, you may have to take up yoga next - all that good stretching of the sciatic nerve and piriformus (in fact the exercise they recommend in that article is a yoga thing too). Hope Portugal was a good break!
