ACL reco. hamstring graft results is hamstring tendonitis?

[arniar]

Hello

Please help me if you can. I have been off running for almost 1 1/2 years. That makes a dedicated runner like me very sad.

I had an ACL reconstruction surgery nearly 11 months ago, with hamstring autograft. My knee seems to be ok, as shown by post-op MRI.

The problem lies in the graft donor area. The hamstring was very tight for long time, causing knee problems. But with proper massage and streching the knee has gotten better. However, there are no further improvements and the hamstring gets tight after exercising. I need to massage several times each day. The hamstring tendon is swollen all the time. I can feel two knots in the muscle. I cannot bend the knee fully. I feel numb in my sole. The problem affects my walking.

This may sound like hamstring tendonitis. Can ACL with hamstring graft cause hamstring tendonitis?

With hope of getting help,
Arni
