*Slipping* into poses

[Guest guest]

I am starting to *slip* into some of the more difficult poses; so

far, only padmasana , but I have a dull aching pain in my left

buttock (no pun intended). As I recall the ancient history of the

area, I recall injurying it in football practice in high school and

reinjuring it in the spring during a state track meet. If I am

visiting this old (40 yr reunion coming up!)injury, then how do I

make an adjustment and heal this? It is clear that this is a muscle

underlying the glute. It is not exactly painful, just aches. I get

some relief when I stretch forward. It warms up and starts to itch,

but I can't seem to reach the muscle and manipulate it. Any

suggestions and what muscle am I probably working with if it is not a

major muscle like the gluteus??
