I have recently recovered from Plantar Fasciitis, have new orthotics, and am trying to build mileage back up. I may have done so too fast.
I am getting this weird pain in the section of my hamstring which is directly behind my knee. I was somewhat worried about patello-femoral pain syndrome, but the pain is certainly in the muscle. It feels exactly like Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness that one would get from weightlifting, but it has been bothering me for almost two weeks. I have had ITBS before and I know for sure that this isn't ITBS.
It only hurts in the morning. When I wake up I am in moderate pain, and 30 minutes later I am pain free for the rest of the day (including running).
Is this just a growing pain from increasing mileage? Should I reduce mileage until it goes away? I have already tried taking multiple days of complete rest and mainlining ibuprofen, also stretching the hamstring, neither have been helpful.
The pain doesn't really bother me too bad, I just want to make sure that it doesn't turn into an injury. |
