Iliotibial Band Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Tenderness in Buttocks
The gluteus maximus, commonly known as the buttocks, is the largest muscle in our body. They need to be because they have the job of supporting the trunk of the body upright even when we are walking, running, and even jumping.
While they are the largest and most powerful muscles in our body, that does not mean to say they are impervious to medical conditions. For some people, iliotibial band syndrome can cause the buttocks to become quite tender. Again, this will only further add to discomfort and further cause mobility problems for the patient. Even sitting might become difficult for them.
