Thank you Physiobob. I appreciate your insight and speed. I'm beginning to wonder if I should consider the hamstring release surgery at this point. I elected to go with the serial casting hoping to avoid going under the knife but I never expected it to take so long or for the results to be so mixed. At what point do you think it would be beneficial for me to consider surgery?

Surgery aside, if I get PT and exercise in the pool, how long do you think recovery will take? It seems to me, the longer i have the cast on the longer my recovery will take.

Thank you!

PS. They put the cast back on only so I would not fall down at home alone. I can walk in the cast and get around. But since I was unable to do so with my leg out of the cast they put it back on, maybe as a quick fix?
