This sounds like sciatica, not a hamstring issue. A decent massage therapist can work on your piriformis and fix this quickly. Ask them first if they know how to do it.

Hamstring Tendinitis vs Tendinopathy
Howdy Rip, thanks for taking the time.
About 6 months ago while incorporating Stiff Legged Deadlifts my left hamstring started to hurt deep in the glute area where it connects. (And yes, I ditched SLDL's since then.)
The pain has become more of an irritant now but there is a coming and going tingling that runs down my left leg into the left side of my foot. Somedays are better than others but it is persistent. Again, it's more irritating than painful.
Do you have any advice on how to clear this up or is it something I just need to live with? I've kept my training going through it all but if the answer is to take some time away from the barbell, then I will, only if you suggest it.
Thanks Rip, I appreciate it.
Best,
Tommy
