Suggest Remedy For Pain In Top Of Leg Under Buttock While Doing Splits

I Think I have injured the top of my leg right under my bum while doing the splits, it's been hurting for about 2 months and only when I try to do the splits. I haven't been able to to the splits on that leg since I first hurt it, the other leg is unaffected. What is it?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
It sounds like you have pulled / torn your hamstring muscle near or at its insertion on the ischium i.e. the bone in your buttock. This should improve with time but may take a few months. Physiotherapy with adjuncts such as ultrasound treatment may help. Anti-inflammatory medication may also be of benefit for this diagnosis.
