    i was playing football(soccer) and suddenly my right bum got tensed up and i wasnt able to continue running,ever since then ive not been able to relax the muscle its gradually healing, i think but its kind of weird cuz its literally affecing my right legs to as in i get random pains above the ankle, i think this could be as the muscles aint being used as much as they used to

    i asked a doctor he told me my muscles in the back tensed up and i may have sprained my muscles in glueus or injured a tendon/ligament

    Re: gluteus maximus (bum) injury

    It is very difficult to say, but if the onset of pain was on the gluteus itself it is likely that during running this could be the problem

    To be honest, I don't think the doctor really knows what the source or cause of the problem is, and you would be best off getting an assessment done to pinpoint exactly the source of the problem.

    Additionally, try to avoid running in the meantime, but try gradually increasing your walking.
