There is now a Facebook group called Proximal Hamstring Injury/Surgery that was started in March 2016. If you have suffered (not a good enough word, is it?) a complete tear in the past and want or have advice, please join!
I would love to hear from the two previous people from Arizona! I am post op day 12 (and counting); wondering how yiu both are doing now and if Dr Was was your surgeon?
I had surgery on my right hamstring two months ago. This was to cut 90%, debride and reattach. For those who have had it done? When does the soreness from sitting on long drives go away? When could you start jogging again?
Thank you for the FB group recommendation. I just found out I need surgery to repair a complete avulsion of the right hamstring from an injury I sustained last week. I am headed for surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC either next week or the week after. Have many questions and concerns, but have already found some answers by reading posts on the Proximal Hamstring Injury/Surgery page. I am so freaked out by what my life will be like over the next 6 weeks PO, but it is nice to know there is a support group out there who have all had the same experience and know what I am going through. Thank you for adding a bit of comfort to a very stressful time in my life!
got proximal hammy surgery earlier this month. How long is it gonna be sore? Also I'm scared I've been feeling it too much when standing or moving around....
I had this hamstring reattachment surgery 2.5 weeks ago and all I can think about is not engaging it and botching the whole surgery. The Facebook group “Proximal Hamstring Tendonopathy and Avulsion” is a really informative source but most feedback is from folks that weren’t runners. I’d appreciate any feedback from runners here that have undergone this surgery and attempted to return to running. 47 y/o and ran 2:58:28 in late 2019 marathon and 1:23:30 in a December 2020 half. Ran a trail race in spring 2021 and ever since had a terrible pain that was diagnosed as sciatica, tendonopathy, etc before finally getting an MRI. Don’t wait on an MRI fyi. ok, what feedback do you have in regards to recovery and returning to running?
