Jack, I seem to be in the same boat. I’ve been dealing with a pain in the hammy, glute and calve for years. It would move around, respond to ART and massage for a while but always present. I’d stretch the hammy’s like hell thinking that was the issue but no relief. Finaaly got an MRI and have 2 large bulges, one pressing on the sciatic nerve. These threads would have lead me to that realiztion long ago had I followed them sooner. Anways I’ve been doing McKenzies for a month or more, other stretches and strenghthening too. Glute pain is gone but still feel pain in the hammy. I take an ice pack to work and put it in my shirt backnow and again and am constantly correcting my posture to avoid the slump. Tomorrow will be my first epidural injection in hopes of getting the swelling down. I’m up for anything that will speed this thing along and allow me to get back to training. Now is the season to heal!
