hey
i play basketball and i've had chronic hamstring pain for the last 6 months. In the last couple of years i have torn or strained my left hamstring about 5-6 times, but towards the end of last year i suffered hamstring pain continuosly and i have receieved physio treatment numerous times.
However, it has been getting worse and is starting to greatly affect my playing ability and most recently caused sharp pain in my hip on Saturday in our game.
When i stretch my hamstring i get pain and not so much a stretch, and if anything aggrivates the hamstring and tends to make it worse.
I've had an ultrasound done in 2004 but besides that i've had no other scans done in regards to the hamstring, and i havent yet consulted a sports doctor or physician.
I was wondering if you could help me out as to what could be causing this and recommend some possible treatment solutions.
thanks
