What Causes Pain And A Lump On The Buttocks And Left Leg?

Knot in center of left buttock with dull ache down my leg. Is this a pulled hamstring or sciatic nerve issue? This has bothered me of and on for 8-9 months. I started a statin drug around this time as well, but this is the only muscle ache I'm currently having. Thank You
