Seems to be muscle strain.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
It appears you may have strained the muscles of buttock. I would suggest the following-
Give adequate rest to the involved muscle group and avoid any movement that causes pain
Ice packing once in every 2 hours over the affected area
Moist heat application to relax the muscles
Local application of muscle relaxant gel
Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
