dont worry!!! you just need to stretch your hams, glutes and calf muscles. icing for 2 weeks was little longer for the mucles to go for stiffness!!! apart for visiting a physiotherapist you can take heat therapy (eletric heat pads, hot water bottle etc) over the hams muscles and buttocks at home only. that will also improve your restriction mildly!!

It is due to hamstring strain
Visit a physiotherapist who will do gradual streching of hamstrings and put you on a rehabilitation regime
If still persistent you will require to visit a orthopaedic doctor for further evaluation
