    Same here, Redfox. My upperbody got strong I can do handsprings now and can hold my iron x a bit longer. 😉 Another upside, I can lift my injured leg and hold it longer and higher now because of the ankle weights I had during therapy. It’s been 6 months now, doc gave me go-signal to start stretching more. I’m taking yoga classes and hopefully will be back to doing splits next year. 🙂 Straddle split is getting wider, my problem is doing my square splits though.

    @grayeyes, my doc suggested Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections if my hamstring still won’t heal after 5 months. I have until november to know and decide if I’ll have it. Your comment somehow helps. 🙂

    How long did you guys stop pole-ing after injury? It will be almost 4 months since my injury now. I don’t feel the pain anymore but my right leg flexibility is back to zero. I took private pole classes but we focused on upperbody tricks. I am still scared to go back to taking group classes because of my fear of hurting my leg again. 🙁

    That’s good to hear, Phoenix Hunter. I know 2 months is not long enough but it feels like forever. 🙁 I have therapy 2x a week, I’m still allowed to workout (though I still have limits) except pole. And yes to getting smarter at training. At workouts, I am now more conscious with my form and making sure I am not overexerting myself. At least something good has come out of this injury. 🙂

    Hi! I want to know if all of you in this thread has finally healed now. I had a hamstring injury 2 months ago and it’s also near its origin, at the ischial tuberosity. 🙁 I’m doing therapy but I can still feel the pain when I’m sitting down. 🙁
