What causes left-sided pain in the buttocks after a hamstring injury?
Patient: I lifted a heavy container and just about fell, but I managed to stay upright but I felt a painful pull in my left buttock, since then sitting, bending, walking is very painful. All hamstring injuries refer to leg pain, mine is strickly in my buttock area? Doctor: Hi,  This could be a nerve pain. Hamstring pain is not localized to buttocks. You can start neurotrophic medications.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Anuj Gupta,  Spine Surgeon
