          I have this stinging pain in my hamstrings that keeps coming back at times. The pain might come in the middle of a workout (it stings and feels like some sort of tear, but not exactly a pull like I have previously had) or it might come out of the blue on any given day. I have given up trying to figure out what it is, and my chiropractors theory on the thing (backrelated problems or something, etc.) doesnt seem to ad up. What might the problem be?

          It is in both my hams, and I'm thinking it may be scar tissue? Should I go to a massage therapist?

          It actually could be a back problem if your back extensors are pulling your pelvis out of alignment which could in turn place undue stress on your hamstrings. Scar tissue shouldn't really cause pain unless the pain is an indirect or compensatory effect from scar tissue in another location. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

          Thats what my chiropractor said about could be a reason. What could I be doing wrong to cause my back extensors to pull my pelvis out of alignment?
