Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
It looks like you have hurt your hamstring muscles. This is very nasty injury. Hamstrings take some time in recover. You need to take rest, avoid sitting on floor or cross leg sitting. Apply diclofenec gel over thigh. If you would be my patient I would prescribe you physiotherapy and analgesics.
