Calf strain or Hamstring Tendonitis

[Yarok]

HI
have you done ultrsonography when the swelling was present, is it liquid or firm tenderness?

what about the functional and palpatory assessment, any findings?

Hi,
The swelling is fluid to the touch and not tender, I can press on it pretty hard, as it's away from where the Physio found the very sore bit, which he said is hamstring tendons.

Hope this helps.

What sort of physio treatment are you receiving?

I would doubt is was the popliteal tendon. Most muscle injuries occur to those muscles that oass over two joints as it cannot stretch fully over both joints at the same time. Popliteus is a single joint muscle, so you would have to get it into such a position to overstretch it, you would at least know about it.

What sort of physio treatment are you receiving?

Hi karen, I was getting friction on the hamstring tendon, but I've not had this for a while. More recently I been getting laser and ultrasound.

Thanks.
