Need a diagnosis and possible treatment

(2 discussions)

while playing football(soccer) almost 6 weeks ago, i was practicing bicycle kicks and felt pain in my upper hamstrings and around the hip. i am sure my leg was hyperextended but i don’t know the extent of the injury. the hams are tight and i stretch them each day. when attempting some stretches, there is pain that feels like a bone or joint problem and not a muscle. i have used rest, ice, and heat to treat the area, but there has been only limited improvement. i can walk normally, but pain ensues when attempting to run, kick a ball, etc. if anyone has had similar problems or thinks they can help, i would really appreciate it.

    it hurts on the middle to right underside of my leg near the buttocks. also, breaking into stride such as sprinting or doing a rainbow (if you know about football) hurts. recently a bruise has appeared on the right side of my leg, to the front side of the ball shaped hip bone. if there was a line encircling the body crosswise, the middle of the buttocks would be in line with this bone. the bruise is not where the muscle is tight, but it hurts to push a certain spot near the bruise. it has appeared, disappeared, and 2 days ago appeared again in the same place, so i am sure it is not caused by a blow to the area. please help if you can.

    Can you be more specific about where it hurts, and what makes it hurt?
    Could be sacro-iliac, scar tissue or just a strain.
