Discussion: Try compression on that ham...

Try compression on that hamstring. Seems to really help me.

what type? Details?

I would also avoid stretching for a while, at least in my case, it only seems to hurt more.

I agree with Z. Stretching causes more damage and interestingly enough is the opposite of compression. Use a large ace bandaid to wrap it. Get the ones that are self sticking. Dont warp too tight. It should be at a compression level where you can sleep the whole night with it on. Dont make it too light either! Makes a big difference by morning.

I have a thin neoprene one that works really well. something like this :

They do tend to slide down. the ones lined with fabric dont slide down as much. You might find one at Models or even the local CVS.

Thanks, Bernie.
I can bike with no pain at all, that is good news, as long as I keep pushing pedals hard :)

you are lucky. My hamstring acts up after some long rides. it feels really weak. I wore a hamstring brace on my last ride and it helped a lot. Felt good despite mega hills.
