instruction: hello doctor I have had high hamstring pain a few years ago now it is back again more pronounced on my right side though the left is now starting to match the right I am really active so I want someone to look at my mri and be honest did I tear or strain my hamstring about if I have to stop my active lifestyle if it needs to heal
output: hi you have findings suggestive of a hamstring injury involving the left side hamstring muscles from the level of the ischial tuberosity attachment in the pelvis area and continuing to the biceps femoris proximal tendon and in to the upper and mid thigh areas and the myotendinous part along the posterior medial part of the thigh I have sent few images please check the first image is the upper part of the left hamstring tendon the second image is in the left mid thigh area there are minimal findings in the right ischial tuberosity area and otherwise the right side is showing signs of likely resolution as you have mri findings showing left hamstring injury you do need to recover and avoid stressful physical activity to your left hamstrings however the exact nature of active lifestyle is best commented upon after a detailed clinical evaluation
