Tightness and Hamstring Pain After Exercise

[GinniferLynne]

Dear all,

When people refer to stiffness here, do they mean tightness ?

For the past few weeks, my hamstring muscles become very tight/sore with almost cuttingly sharp pain at times after exercise or slightest of exertion on the legs.

Is this what some people feel ?

Many thanks in advance to those who can reply.

Yes.

I workout daily and run, my hamstrings are the first muscle to get tight.

If you are exercising at all, warm up your hams by walking for about 5 minutes (not such a good idea to stretch cold muscles). Stretch out your hamstrings CAREFULLY (they are easily strained/pulled) in the evening or after exercise. This should help
