Are Tight Hamstrings Ruining Your Life?

[slugcountry86]

Arg! Hamstrings!

I HATE my hamstrings with a passion >=(. They are extremely tight, to the point that doing a simple stretch by sitting on the floor with my feet out in front of me is impossible because my hamstrings prevent me from sitting up on my sitbones (and I end up rolling back).

At this point I am absolutely desperate and contemplating trying to stretch on vicodin or something, so I can at least tolerate the pain long enough to get some sort of stretch... has anyone else found a way to deal with tight hamstrings?

I suggest that you see a doctor to get an evaluation.

I agree with Evo. Just talk with your doc about it. Stretching and pain are not supposed to go together.
