Injury advice

doledude86

Training for the the Edinburugh marathon and had a niggle in my hamstrings, on advice i took ten days out which didnt affect my programme as I rejigged it, now my both my hamstrings feel tight or cramped, i dunno whether to visit a physio or take a week off. the marathon is at the end of May so this would be my last set back without affecting my training too much. Any advice??

No giving you medical advice as it is agaist the charter .

But if it was me I would be back to the physio

We do not give out medical advice. Injuries may have common symptoms but are unique to the individual - just because you were able to keep training with X injury or were out for months because of Y doesn't mean that the same will apply to someone else. Bad advice given here and followed through could aggravate an injury and prevent an athlete making a full recovery in as rapid a time as possible. This restriction is Boards-wide and purposely heavy-handed. So don't feel offended if your thread about a sprained ankle (which you may deem "non-medical") gets locked.

Mod: Thread will be kept open if you are looking for referrals for medical practitioners in your area but will be closed if treatment advice etc is given/continued to be sought

its not looking for medical practice advice its looking for a general advice from runners standing outside looking in at the situation and thanks for the reply!

Im also well aware of the charter and have always abided by it!
