Hi..

Your pain seems to be a muscle soreness following the activity...

I suggest you to do lot of icing on the painful area and keep it compressed with a crepe bandage..
Don't stretch your hamstrings or glute muscles for now..
If pain is too worse can have an anti inflammatory medication with GP'S advise..

pain should get subside in three days.. not to worry..
As movement allows then slowly stretch the Hamstrings and glutes..within tolerable range...again don't push it to the limit

Hope this is helpful..
Kindly revert back in case you need any further clarification...
