I've been seeing a Physical Therapist regarding hamstring pain (right leg) that I've been having for 2 months now (very tight & irritated). She concluded that I have scar tissue (from what I'm not sure - I don't remember a particular incident that made it hurt) & possibly fluid in the ham - and suggested a stretching and massaging routine to try to break up the scar tissue. I've been faithfully doing my routine every day for 3 weeks - & it's still not getting better!
I get my DH to massage my ham - can't afford a massage therapist since the PT is draining my $$!
Has anyone suffered from this type of pain, and overcome it? I'd love to hear any success stories, since this is so discouraging to deal with every day.
ps - also have been experiencing mild lower back & SI joint pain on same side. The PT showed me some core exercises to strengthen my back (using a big exercise ball). I told her about the core exercises I do (CTX - back) and she said DO NOT do these core exercises on the floor anymore, but to use a ball to stabilize the back better. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
