L Upper Leg, Hamstring Pain

2006-08-07 – 2006-10-01

Grade: 1

Hamstring issues seemed to have evolved out of recent lower back pain. The pain had moved slowly from the base of the spine, to the left side, to where my hip an leg connect, then to my left hamstring. It only is felt when I bend down forward but it's tight enough to make me go through some contortions at times.

The tightness is mostly gone. I think just giving it time helped more than anything. I didn't stretch much after a few rounds of it seemed to aggrivate it. I rested it a lot too, mostly for reasons other than to let it heal.
