Well, I've "seen" (felt, actually) a lump at the insertion (aka sit bone) of the hamstring on a couple patients. Both were athletes, one was an endurance runner.
They were considered high hamstring strains, most likely due to an imbalance of effort between the medial and lateral hamstrings.
Both these patients were women (seems to be more a girl thing) and both were solved by treating the FEET and working on general leg stabilization exercises. Overpronation caused the hammies to fire up funny in an attempt to stabilize the leg/pelvis.
If you already wear orthotics, you might want to call your orthotist and see if your orthotics need to be adjusted.
Otherwise, ask your doc what she/he thinks. Maybe a medial wedge on the underside of your regular insoles would help. The doc would be able determine that.
