A member asked:

Pain in both buttocks, between glutes and hamstring. if massaged there is a tenderspot. possible muscle strain? been going on for 2 weeks. causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Injuries?: If on both sides most likely not strains. Especially if no injuries. You are young so there might be some ergonomic issues. Have to rule out lumbar spine problem with possible pinched nerves. This would be the most likely. Should get checked out if persists.
