Based on the facts of your query-
Your current health issues seem to be due to hamstring sprain from gyming.Proximal hamstring tendinopathy needs to be ruled out.
Other Cause of these complaints -like disc problems from PID,needs to be ruled out.For this you need to consult Orhtopedic and / or Surgeon who would investigate after physical assessment.

Do's Suggested-
Consult and physically examine from General Surgeon or dermatologist.
They would Do needful Investigations-and would rule out other causes also.
Get USG or CT if need be to confirm any other clot/ or hamstring tear.
Rest
Hot fomentation
Infra Red light x 1 week
Tab Flexeril 1 x 3 times a day
Or Baclofen 1 x 2 / 3 times a day
Tab Zincovit 1 x 10 days
Tab Combiflam 1 x 2 times x day x 5 days

Thus You should consult and get above treatment.This would resolve the complaints of your's.
