What is the cause of this pain?
Quote | Reply
I am experiencing pain mostly after running that feels like a burning sensation at times and sometimes a dull ache. It is located just under the Gluteus Maximus (or my ass) and above what I would consider my hamstring (the same hamstring I damaged several years ago). I have a lot less flexiblility in this area also. I am trying to attach a pic of the area also.

The spot you are talking about is the spot where the hamstrings attach to the pelvis. Since you have a history of injury with that hamstring, it very well could be related.

If I had to bet I would go with ischial bursitis.

So what to do about it?
  • Ice after running
  • heat before followed by stretching
  • warm bath, hot tub heat packs etc followed by stretching for general treatment
  • possible ultrasound treatments if all else fails
