Yes you should go back to the sports doctor. could be it was more than a hamstring pull and now that the pain from that has gone, the other injury you might have sustained is coming forward.

See the doc. I injured my knee at 14 at a time when orthos didn't think teenage girls could hurt their knees. We were too "delicate"(I hurt it when caught in a rock slide while hiking the Rockies..delicate?). I ended up with 14 knee surgeries and both knees replaced by 47.

Take care of your knees now so you have them for the long run.

14 surgeries? Wow!

I had knee problems (patello-femoral syndrome) when I was younger (I'm only 18 now, and we're talking when I was around 13 or 14)...And that pretty much cleared up.

Now it's ankle problems. I've sprained my left ankle over a dozen times, and when I was 16 1/2 had ligament reconstruction surgery.

I'll have no joints when I'm older...or at least it seems that way.

You'll have joints but they may be the metal and plastic kind! Take care of yourself! Artificial joints aren't what everyone thinks they are. They wear out and you have to get them done again and again and each time is tougher. Better to keep the ones God gave you!

Heh.

I tried to make an appt. with the sports doctor today...And he's out all week! I called my primary care doctor's office to see what I should do, and they said a nurse would get back to me.
