Partially Tore Upper Hamstring, Lump Under The Butt Bone. Took Tylenol, Did Stretching With No Help. Opinion ?
I partially tore my upper hamstring and have a lump under my butt bone. A doctor did not feel it, but I feel it when I sit. He told me to use heat six times a day, take tylenol and do gentle stretching (this happed 9 days ago). It has not improved. I have also read that sometimes this bump gravitates down the leg and sticks out as a lump. Your thoughts?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The lump that you are feeling is likely to be due to tearing of the muscle fibres. This swelling will take 4-6 weeks to resolve completely after giving adequate reset and hot fomentation. You are getting the right treatment. You can continue with it.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
