Anyone have ACHING buttocks post-op?

This was covered a little bit in an earlier question, but I'm in severe pain here and need help. My buttocks just ACHE all the time - to the point that I can't sit. I have asked my PCP and my surgeon. Both felt anti-inflammatories would help, BUT of course said I can't have them with my newly healing pouch. They recommended alternating heat/ice packs and continue with my pain liquid. I've tried this, but have no relief. The pain liquid doesn't seem to help at all. I'm also using a "ring" shaped pillow to sit on. Last night I tried a muscle rub cream and woke up feeling like I was sitting on a grill, lol! I had to sit in 2" of cold water for awhile. Right now, I can't even sit on my desk chair. I'm kneeling on the floor. Please, please, has anyone else suffered from this and WHAT DID YOU DO?????
