Early this year, after showing off and showing how flexible I was a pulled my hamstring, I had only been running for a month or two at this point, anyway I went to the physio and was told I had proximal hamstring tendinopathy and was looking at 6 months + for recovery, but i was still ok to run, just don’t do hills and take it easy, now 3 months on down the line, it doesn’t bother me when running, I get the occasional tight hamstring feeling, but when I am sat at home or especially when driving I get the dreaded pain in the butt, but this pain also affects my ankle. Has anyone ever suffered with this kind of pain? If so how did you treat it? It’s driving me mad

It sounds like it could be the same thing or maybe a bit of sciatica, i would make an appointment with a physio, they are the best people to diagnose you, and start you with a set of exercises to help you, sorry I can’t give you a better answer.
I'm a chiropractor and see issues like this all the time.
If it's still niggling get in to see somebody for a proper assessment. There can be knock on (or associated) effects of hamstring tendinopathy. The obvious one is sacroiliac joint trouble, which can lead to pain in the bum and down to the lower leg, but there are numerous other potential causes.
A proper diagnostic process for this should include a neurological exam to rule out sciatic involvement, as well as testing your muscles and joints from your lower back down to your foot.
Nearly all of the potential causes of your symptoms are easily resolved, so I wouldn't worry too much!
