A member asked:
I partially tore my hamstring 2 months ago. its improving but there is a pulsating feeling around my patellar tendon. do you know what causes this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not related.: The hamstring attaches in the back of the knee in 2 places. Neither is close to the patellar tendon. Maybe you HAV athin knee and are feeling the trasmitted noise of the artery in the back of the knee, in between the 2 hamstring tendons.
