I tore my hamstring in my thigh.

You need to go on a low oxalate diet. An oxalate are crystals - toxins found mostly in plant based foods. Leafy greens like spinach, swish chard ect contain a lot. The crystals are the same thing people who have kidney stones get. But your body may harbor them different. Oxalates can build up on your tendons, in your arteries, in your eyes, just about anywhere in your body. They cause a lot of heart disease too.

I had plantar fasciitis for a few years and when I went to a low ox diet my plantar fasciitis was gone in 3 months. It took me about 2 years to get all the stored up oxalates out of my body. It was extremely painful to detox. At times it felt like I had rebar drilling into my bones. I would lay in bed at night and have pains shooting all over my body. You are suppose to go low oxalate a little at a time, but I was forced to go all at once which caused massive detox.

Years ago , I tore my long thoracic nerve in my shoulder , I can imagine the pain of your hamstring!

Be well and be blessed...

That low Ox diet sounds like a game changer. It is kind of daunting to give up so much. My wife is an excellent cook and looks at me sideways when I make any suggestions about ingredients but I really need to give it a try.

I was finally able to get a sonogram (ultra sound?) and the doctor told me that there was nothing suggesting tendon rupture or muscle separation needing surgery, so I am very relieved. I am finally getting around on one crutch but it has been a very frustrating, painful and trying time. Have pity on anyone who tears a muscle because it is no joke. I can finally hobble back out to the shop where so much of my life is spent, dreaming and creating things (ok, I sleep alot out there too.)
