When reading all the posts, I knew instantly what you had done the first time you explained it. MRI's don't always show them up, sports doctors here in Aus don't even bother with them. Physiotherapy is futile. you need arthroscopic (day surgery) to get rid of the pain. the hamstring pain is refered pain from the posterior horn meniscal tear (ie torn cartilage inside and to the back of the knee). Your surgeon will tell you after the surgery if you should continue to play or not. Good luck...and get it sorted!!!

Yeah. It started from weight lifting. I put too much weight on while squat ing and tweaked it. The major incident was during a game. I went for a header and came down totally wrong on my heels and jammed my back. I was diagnosed with a back hernia. I hatve it under control though.

Great news ! My anthroscopic knee surgery is on the 19th of jan. This is a big day for me.

Hamstring is better. The pain is still there from where it spasmed over the summer. I cant believe it. Its been 6 months. I am doing isolation on it. Hamstring curls and stretching. I try to massage the hamstring myself.

Any ideas on the hamstring and how to get it to normal?
