Have had hamstring problems for over a month. Last run was an 18 miler. Whole leg was so painful and I haven't run since. Have tried acupuncture, ART, dry needling, massage. Recently started PT and he did an assessment and says that the sciatic nerve is being impinged and that's why i have hamstring pain. the hamstring tested strong so he ruled that out.I haven't been treated yet but was told to do a very light hamstring stretch, foam rolling (butt and hamstring) every other day and bridges on ball every other day.
i don't have any butt pain so i don't get how it could be my sciatic nerve. Has anyone had this? can anyone recommend what to do. I am going to follow through with the PT and if no improvement, going to try to start to run again.
over a month and no improvement so i am incredibly frustrated. would love some input.
thanks
