Hamstring stretches and pain relief

After some experimentation with stretches, I've found that doing hamstring stretches temporarily relieves my pain. I'm not sure why this is, but have read that tight hamstrings pull on the pelvis and the piriformis.
Do any forum members know anything about this? I am currently trying a muscle relaxant drug too.

There is certainly very close connection between hamstrings and pelvic muscles. I remember, since my pain started I felt always certain pull in the middle of my hamstrings. This feeling is annoying though not so debilitating as pelvic pain.
PT should adress that as well. There is plenty of valuable insights on the mutual connection of hamstrings and pelvis in the discussion section of the page

I'm not sure what the connection is, Alan, but I know that hamstring stretches cause PN flare-ups for me.

Love him or hate him... there is a nice piece on hamstrings and PN Pain in Chapter 12 of Dellon's pdf book.
