Hi ana, sorry to hear of you discomfort.

It sounds like sciatica, relocated to the front! My
twopennorth is: maybe your backbend stretched but did
not damage the nerve; I suggest the problem would have
arisen anyway, the stretching simply brought symptoms
out a few days earlier.
Personally I'm a huge fan of orthotics; they enabled
me to continue high-impact exercise and go harder,
when I felt I had to give up, 20 years ago. I'm
guessing the issue may have arisen running, or
whatever standing activity you do.

If you choose to look into this, find a reputable and
experienced professional who does gait analysis, the
more detailed the better. I was fortunate enough to
be analysed in 3D, at a venue dedicated primarily to
racehorses! You can do a basic assessment of yourself
by placing fingers on the iliac crest as you walk.
You may feel one side sits higher, or rotates more.
