Tight Hamstring

[jimmylaw9]

I pulled my right hamstring stretching in April 2018. I got a terrific back spasm for about three weeks and ever since the spasms died down I’ve had s dull ache in my lower right glute/piriformis area constantly for two years. Gets worse with activity.

MRIs docs scans all neg.

When it’s three all the time it’s so hard to believe it’s TMS but there is no other explanation for it.

The only time I don’t feel it is if I’m so distracted by something for a short time. But that’s evidence itself for me that it’s TMS. Huckleberry I too have that ache but no palpating or sciatica.

I just have to believe as the amount of positive stories I have read about people being cured gives me the hope.

Thanks for the reply Walt.

Yeah, I know that chronic piriformis is generally seen as a no brainer for TMS and for me the tight hamstring has gone hand in hand with that.

Like I've mentioned my issues just seem to revolve around the left lower back left hip and hamstring...it's quite hard not to get hung up on the type of pain you feel and compare it to others, ie is it pain or just discomfort? Is it muscular or nerve? Is it tightness or soreness? I know I'm falling into the trap of overanalysing the symptoms and type of pain but it's incredibly easy to do...I suppose that is the nature of the beast.

I have several tight areas in my body which makes it hard walking. I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked. This is TMS, so I don't think about it in terms with physical. I think "what am I feeling"? It's been like this for over two years. I've gotten rid of a lot of the pain, but this is the symptom that is stubborn. I just have to be patient, and I skim over people talking about their symptoms because I lose progress when I think of any of these symptoms are physical!!

I have been dealing with the same thing for a year and a half. Started with tight left adductor then moved to left glute lower back and hamstring. More tension and stiffness than pain but still bothersome. Always there but seems to be variable and correspond somewhat with my stress level. Had MRI, bloodwork and a few trips to doctors all came back clean. Very frustrating. You’re not alone
