So im a very serious gymgoer and train since 8 years.
I did an exercise called hyperextensions at the end of my workout and had my legs all stretched out during that exercise.
after my set, I got up and felt a stabbing pain in my leg. I recognised that pain when i was standing and stretched my left hamstring, i would feel the pain then, otherwise no recognisable painful feeling.
Walking home was possible and stuff, and since then I feel the hamstring 'flaring' up, in a burning fashion.
i cant exactly tell what it is, muscle or tendon, but when I use the muscle at weight training, along the inner part of my hamstring i would feel this burning, scratchy kindof feeling.
Doctor said to just stop training and itll be alright.
Its now been 2 and a half weeks since that accident and it still flares up like day 1.
During the exercise i could not feel a snapping or ripping feeling/sound so I cant tell if tendon or muscle is torn. I literally just had this -> do set, finish last reps, get out of hyperextensions machine, stand, boom. stabbing/pinching pain (bear in mind its not something that was very painful. just a "stretch it further and its really going to hurt"- stabbing pain.
Its now gone obviously except for the burning pain that flares up most of the time I use the hamstring a lot (not talkint about jogging or so, but if i have some resistance on it).
What can all the possibilties of my 'injury' be?
It takes so long until my next doctors appointment and I am very curious as i actually wanted to weightlift competitively in summer
kind regards
