I was training for my first trialthon when right before the event as I was running one day my left glutt, lower back next to the glutt spasmed (sp?) w. It tightened so much I could barely move my leg. I felt pain in my lower back as well. I rested for 2 weeks (didn’t do the triathlon) then started running again with on again off again pain. The pain seemed to move down towards my upper hamstring where it attached to the glutt muscle. Eventually I was unable to run a block.
(for context, prior to training for the triathlon I had rolled my left ankle. I got some grastin and ART work done it and was able to run again but my left ankle has never felt fully healed.)
I’ve seem every doctor under the sun. I’ve had ART, grastin work, deep tissue work, I’ve tried Aleve, physical therapy and nothing has worked. I had 2 mri’s done, one of my lower back (nothing was there) and one of my glutt area which showed swelling and fluid at the point of the hamstring insertion. The pain got so presistent that I had it when I slept, when I drove, when I sat at my desk at work.
I stopped running all together, got pregnant, did no exercise to fully rest the area. Once I had my baby I went for a run and made it half a block. I recently got a steriod shot in that insertion point with no improvement what so ever.
Does anyone have any suggestions……?

Can physical therapy re tear or strain the ligament again? Because the pain is darn near as bad as it was pre operation.
I will award 10 points after 4 hours.
