really embarrassing, i know. i only pulled my right butt muscle too, which is even more awkward. anyway...help!

has anyone experienced this?? i've never pulled a muscle before. how long does it take to heal? should i just rest a lot? any and all advice would be greatly appreciated- thanks! :)

    Hello,
    I may have done the same thing. Pain under the pockets of my jeans.
    knots of muscles deep under other muscles in the butt.

    Massage helped! Laying on a tennis ball for accupresser.

    Been over a month, now, and better but still an issue.
    Look up piriformis muscle and sciatic nerve.
    stretching helps.
