What the heck Hammy?

While it seems like years ago, it was only months ago that Hammy Hamstring made its presence known in the far reaches of my right thigh following a workout.

What the hack Hammy? Will you ever heal?

I thought we had parted ways in November. (Wish I could say parting was such sweet sorrow but… wasn’t.) Four days of Marcothon had you front and center (or technically high and behind) again. Persistent bugger!

It was time for a pro to help so PT… away I went… I had been doing stretching and strength to get Hammy to exit stage left, you know… the friends & family plan – doing all the PT given to friends & family. Isn’t that how we do it? Sure… until it doesn’t work.

Now I’m trying hard to be patient, trying hard not to make it worst, to be a good PT patient so I can be whole again. Today brings a first… first visit to a chiropractor. Let’s make sure or get things even. All the therapy!

Two steps forward and one back… that’s where we’re at.


In human anatomy, a hamstring (/ˈhæmstrɪŋ/) is one of the three posterior thigh muscles in between the hip and the knee (from medial to lateral: semimembranosus, semitendinosus and biceps femoris). The hamstrings are quite susceptible to injury.
