I feel you. Training injuries are utterly frustrating. Do you have any discomfort in your glute or calf areas as well, or is it exclusive to the hamstring?The pain is mainly in my glute but also in the bicep femoris (just up from the knee).
Have you had any imaging (xray, mri) done? In my case, I have CAM/FAI in the hip which causes one side to not move as well, which I think caused a cascade of issues. But saddle height was also one of them.
I have had two MRIs done that showed the partial tear 3.5 years ago and then the second was done in the spring of 2017 showing the HHT. Years ago I had an x-ray and was told I have coxa profunda (deep acetabular socket) and have wondered if it was a contributing factor?
As for hamstring flexibility, I actually have pretty good flexibility. The rehab exercises I have been doing for a long period of time were given to me be a chiro/athletic therapist/conditioning specialist who is well regarded where I live. He works with elite Canadian athletes so, I honestly feel I have done all the right things....there is just something about my position on my tri bike that really doesn't agree with me. I will post some video/photos on the weekend of my tri bike position but for now I am going to stick with my road bike.
I greatly appreciate all the feedback.
