Question 1

i am looking for a doctor in the indianapolis in area to treat what i suspect is high hamstring tendinopathy, possibly caused by an old sports injury.

Accepted Answer

Local hospital: Your local hospital will be able to give you the names of available doctors. You should ask for Sports Medicine specialist.

Question 2

will my proximal hamstring tendinopathy that i've been having for 6 months now haunt me for the rest of my life?

Accepted Answer

: It depends on the extent of the injury so it may take more than 6 months for a full recovery with appropriate exercise. If the injury was staged as severe you should visit an orthopedist for a reevaluation because you are too young for that injury becoming a life-long issue. Good luck!

Question 3

i've been doing everything to heal proximal hamstring tendinopathy after a hamstring tear for the past 8 months but it's still painful. doc doesn't help. will i have to permanently live with the hamstring pain and never get back to previous athletism?

Accepted Answer

: Hamstring injuries  are very difficult to resolve. It doesn’t help that you probably are still experiencing a growth period. I would get another opinion from another doctor, and seek the help of a physical therapist to provide a structured program of stretching and strengthening. This will not be easy and will take time, but it can be accomplished.

Question 4

left leg hamstring feels soft compared to right leg all throughout motion even when trying to flex or stretch. limited range of motion with flexion causing pain in hamstring and quadriceps. odd feeling when sitting. tendinopathy vs tendon rupture?

Accepted Answer

: Difficult to discern with the information provided.  I can say that a tendinopathy is often from mechanical overuse while a tendon rupture from an acute event.  Also, tendinopathy, while possible in any tendon, does not commonly occur in the hamstring tendon.  I advise seeing your primary care provider or a physical therapist for a careful evaluation.

Question 5

what is the treatment for tendonopathy of the hamstring insertion site?

Accepted Answer

See below: Rest. Physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications as well as improved biomechanical support of feet and legs.

Question 6

i have edema all throughout my leg/knee, even in my bone marrow. mri says large effusion, severe synovitis, mild tendinopathy. i've had 2 aspirations already without improvement. what is wrong, how can this be fixed?

Accepted Answer

: You should see a rheumatologist to have the effusion drained and sent for testing. They will also do some blood testing and likely be able to diagnose this issue. So, see a rheumatologist. Best of luck to you!!

Question 7

after some short term high intensity exercise, i rest flat on my back to rest. then the leg muscles below my knee begins to hurt a lot which subside.

Accepted Answer

Make sure to stretch: After your workout. Consider arch supports while performing the workout. Make sure to drink water after the workout, .

Question 8

hi,

i had pulsating electric like slight pain in my heart area and back right after rnning.
i have tingling in head, leg and arms. i also occassionaly feel high palpitation and hear beats in my throat.
my hearts feel very heavy next day exercise.

Accepted Answer

No infection: would refer you to cardiologist for EKG, X-rays, scans and treadmill stress test for cardiology evaluation

Question 9

how do i treat "high hamstring tentinopathy"?

Accepted Answer

Tendinopathy: For almost all tendon problems, the recipe is rest, ice (within 72 hours of injury), heating pad (after 48-72 hours), stretching and/or physical therapy, and Ibuprofen (400-800 mg, 2-3 tabs otc tablets, 3 times a day.

Question 10

what's to be expected? might walking for exercise prolong or worsen a pulled inner hamstring?

Accepted Answer

Pain/ Swell=overuse: Hs strains can be tricky to overcome. To keep your overall fitness during recovery consider upper body/ core circuit training (include ube). Walking may be fine depending on your stage of recovery & the intensity of walk. If pain & swelling present, decrease intensity/ duration of exercise... Control pain/ swelling, regain motion/ strength/ & endurance over time.   (drmarkgalland.Com - 12/26/12).
