    Has anybody had a problem with this?
    I have had this pain in the butt for a couple of months now. Also pain in the hamstring and even a tight calf. All on the one side. I can run but its now at a stage where its holding me back. Is physio any use for this,stretching or rest???

    +1 on that. I had the same problem 18 months ago - put me out for 6 weeks and knocked me out of the Dublin marathon. A couple of physio sessions sorted me out, and they showed me some very good stretches that kept it loose after that.

    Thanks
    So is stretching the way, more so than physio..Not overly happy with a wishy washy physio I have used in the past...The muscle seems really tight and stiff to stretch

    Stretching for this is more specific and as a result need the advice of a physio. I am sure someone here would be able to recommend a good one if you not happy with your previous

    Hope you don't mind me butting :D in! I had this in the lead up to DCM and afterwards. Get yourself to a good physio, he/she will sort you out. Take their advice, and follow it (if they say rest, rest. Don't rest of one day and then do a 20 miler :o). It'll take a bit of time, but physio work, stretching and hot baths will help.

    Best of luck.

    There's a lot of that out there. I love reading things like that given the superiority complex a lot of physios have over other professions that deal in sports injuries/massage.
