HAMSTRING

Joe, in reference to the injury you have. My only piece of wisdom is avoid the shots. In the short term they may help but long term it could hurt. Cortisone is like advanced Advil but it can really kill cartilage and other tissue. I have had a bad hamstring in my right leg for over 14 months. I can run but the muscle is always being yanked back. leg cannot fully extend. Anyway, i have been doing ultra sound and getting active isolated stretching for 4 weeks and it is much better. The doc I go to treats some of the best runners around. He was a great runner in his day and knows the life of a nutty runner. If you want his name and contact, shoot me an e-mail. max.lockwood@gmail.com
