How Can Buttock Ache With Leg Pain On Extension Be Treated?
While attempting the splits with left leg forward, I heard and felt a pronounced crunch and opening within my left hip. There was no immediate pain, however within a minute or two a constant, deep, dull ache developed deep behind the lower crease of my left buttock that is persisting hours post incident. Range of motion and ability to weightbear has not been affected. However there is an increase in pain with forward extension of L leg. Do I need to seek additional treatment/assessment beyond rest and an NSAID?

Hello, Thanks for your query. It seems that you had a muscle pull while splits.Take proper rest. Hot fomentation and application of pain relieving gel will give you some relief in pain. You can take pain killer like Ibuprofen one tablet twice a day after meals with antacidOmeprazole 20 mg along with muscle relaxant like chloraxazone. This will relax the sprained muscles.If the pain persists, get yourself examinned by your doctor
