NEED DIAGNOSIS: Not clear if you possess a chronic hamstring strain/sprain or a true "pinched nerve" over the thigh, which might be a peripheral sciatica or even a pyriformis syndrome. Proximal nerve compression at lumbar or buttock levels may well be referred to post. Thigh, and sacro-iliac dysfnctn may also be hard to pin down. Maybe get consultation with osteopath and consider some testing.
