Hello,

I have torn something which I think is my glute.

I'm a yoga student/teacher and I've torn hamstrings so badly they bled (interally) and intercostals so it hurt to laugh. I know muscle pulls, but this one is ridiculous. I'm doped up on pain killers and still can barely move.

I live on a island at the moment, so the medical advice here is not good. I don't know if a doctor can help, but I've heard that mabye I need surgury?

Pain is right at the top of my pelvis on the left side (very top of my butt). Any kid of movement hurts, but the worst is if I rotate my leg (any kind of hip movement). The longer I sit still, the worse it gets. Mornings are awful.

It's "take your breath away" bad.

Everyone keeps suggesting it's a spine or sacrum thing, but I'm super familiar with those injuries and what they feel like. This is some tissue (muscle, tendon?) way over on the left right at the pelvis. I can backbend perfectly, deeply, with no pain at all--but just crossing my legs on the floor is brutal.

It's been getting worse over the course of 4 months. I've lightened way up on my practice, but in general, I do heavy stretching all the time, every day for 5+ years.

If this is going to go away, I can deal with it. But if I need surgury, can someone suggest? That would be a last resort for me as I'm not big on the idea.

Any help would be VERY appreciated.

Thanks!
Lucas
