Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Buttocks

Hello I did a split without stretching and heard a loud pop sound, now the back of my leg where the butt and thigh meet is in pain.I don’t know if I pulled a hamstring or what.It hurts when I walk, and I can’t lift my leg at all without a sharper pain developing.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
At this area it may indicate several issues and most common are pilonidal cyst or perianal abscesses. These are inflammatory processes in sacral and perianal area usually manifested with pain, redness, swelling, fever and pus discharge. Cellulitis is less common and may be present in sacral area as well. This is mostly caused by beta hemolytic streptoccocus and it necessitates antibiotic treatment with augmentin, or combination of ciprinol+ metronidazole. You should also, apply cold compresses, take nonsteroid painkillers such as ibuprofen 400mg and rest. If there is no improvement within 2 days, you should see doctor and have intravenous antibiotics.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
