A member asked:
I hurt my back and pulled my right hamstring a little. i did physical therapy and healed. 2 days after my other hamstring feels tight and weak. why?

Neuropathy: I suspect you have nerve root impingement in your spine, caused when you hurt your back. This could be due to a disc herniation, lumbar sprain with irritation of the lumbar plexus nerves, or even sciatica. You may have simply re-strained your hamstring alternatively. If you are weak, i highly suggest you see a sports medicine physician, pmnr, or spine doctor for further work-up. Don't wait.
