I have a pain every time I step coming from where my ass meets my hamstring that goes right down the back of my thigh to my knee. I’ve never had this one before and I don’t know what brought it on. I didn’t do any lifting today (I did squats yesterday) but I did run 5 miles this morning (but I do this every morning) and 4x400m sprint this afternoon.
Anyone know?
Edit: some googling on running sites and it doesn’t sound like ITBS since that’s usually more at the front?
Can I be that pain? Cough Sorry,lol 
It could be a number of things…and could also be caused by a number of things outside of training.
Read up on piriformis syndrome, sciatica, sacroiliac dysfunction, sacral stress fracture, and hamstring tendonitis. Especially since you run 5 miles everyday. Find a good physical therapist.
Thank you!
Eek! Those all sound very chronic and serious. I will look into them.
It is getting worse as the night progresses and now I’m reduced to a hobble D:
I also had a battle with a guy over the remote for the projector today that I forgot about; now that I think of it that might have been when I felt it first. I got the remote but maybe I didn’t win after all. Bastard!

Don’t scare yourself over something that is most likely harmless:
Is that link serious? It seems a bit far out there.
Thanks for the response, I will read that also.
Debra, it doesn’t sound like ITBS, which is good. From what I understand it’s a nightmare to resolve.
I had a groin pull that caused such diffuse pain I had a hard time locating its source for a while. It’s been several years, but I remember calling it my hip/ass/leg pain. I’d been sprinting on a treadmill, seeing how fast I could go. Then I compounded it by continuing to run, because it only hurt when I walked. I only stopped running when I found myself having to seriously wonder how I might go about getting a handicapped flag for my car, because walking across campus was so painful.

Whilst Sarno is correct in that often there is a psychological component to pain (especially chronic pain), often there is not and it really is just a physical injury.
I mean sure, you got in a ‘fight’ with some dude, but you also ran sprints. I would suggest that for a strong, confident, assertive woman like yourself (from what I get to see of you on T-Nation at least - I don’t know how you are in the work environment), it is the sprints which would ‘injure’ you more than some psychological tussle for dominance over a remote control - unless there are deeper issues at work.
Personally, I would seek out a mechanical problem before a psychological one, since bio-mechanics are usually easier to fix than the mind.

I was more concerned I pulled something in the tussle than the stress of it–I did win after all But I agree it’s most likely from running. I did my sprints at the track but it is indoor so no snow or ice but my morning runs are outside and maybe the extra work on the stabilizers has aggravated something?
I guess it doesn’t matter too much where it started it looks like I’m going to be taking Emily’s advice and a no running for a few days. It is still painful to walk. Argh!
Thanks for your replies, BBB and Emily 
Try the Hip Rotators technique with a lacrosse ball.
Worked wonders for me.

Yes.
In my experience, if you’ve got psychological issues, you can get rid of mechanical pain in one spot, but it’ll just show up in another.
BTW, this sounds like your piriformis. You can work on it with a tennis ball up against a wall or on the floor. I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s probably myofascial.
