painful for 3-5days afterwards? I play on artifical grass on a 5-a-side pitch. The pain sometimes goes into my buttocks. I thought it might be a hamstring but rested for a couple of weeks and it returns. Could it be a trapped nerve - or something else? I do stretch before and after.
 
If you have stretched the muscle group sufficiently. then try this. Take one ot two aspirin or Ibuprofen before you play. If that doesnt work, it may be more serious, and you can ask your doctor to schedule you for and MRI or at least an ultrasound, which is inexpensive these days. Good luck!
 
It sounds like a hamstring to me.
I tore mine when I did Thai boxing and it's never fully recovered.
You never said how old you are, but I'd really recommend you get it checked out.
If it is a hamstring and it goes, you'll be in a lot of pain
