This will sound so thick but I’ve hurt myself today and not sure what it is! I’ve a pain from under my bum down the back of my right thigh. I did it running this morning - wasn’t an unusually fast or long run for me so I don’t know why. It hurts to walk but isn’t agony. I also then tried to play football with the kids and it was agony when kicking with that leg.
If it is my hamstring - will it just go away? I’m meant to be competing in a running event on Saturday and worried I’ve hurt myself properly.

Could be hamstring or piriformis if it starts in your bum. Neither will just go away I'm afraid, but if not too bad might be ok for your event. If you are able to try and see a sports physio asap, otherwise rest and try gentle stretching and ice.
