Suggest Treatment For Pain While Stretching

Slipped disc needs to be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your medical history in detail.
From the history and symptoms that you have stated,it seems more likely to be a slipped disc compressing a nerve in the lumbar spine.This causes radicular pain in the hamstring region while walking / going downstairs etc.
Although hamstring muscle injury also can cause this,but this seems more of a nerve related pain.
I would advice you to take analgesic ,muscle relaxant tablets for 3 days with application of local gel and hot fomentation.
If the pain does not reduce,then you need to consult an orthopedist and get a Xray / MRI of Lumbar spine done.
I hope the answer was useful.
Feel free to ask me any follow up queries that you may have.
Thank you.
Kind regards.
