question: Pain/soreness in lower hamstring of right leg, accompanied by pulling sensation/pain in heel. I have ceased treadmill running and removed leg centric workouts from my gym routine. I have continued weight lifting and included some ellyptical machine and lightly paced walking on the treadmill. Cause/cure? I am right handed, 33yr old, 5 10 - 200lbs, 12-14% bf, lift weights 5/6 days a week, play softball weekly, spend a lot of time sitting/stationary (as currently unemployed.)
