Pulled a hamstring in my left leg a couple of months back and while the pain has dimished to a tolerable level it's still not 100%. Using a roller as prescribed by a therapist and oddly enough, the leg feels better when I'm golfing vs. sitting as long as I don't overdo it. Yesterday, I played 9 and then sat out every other hole on the back  in league.

Reading up on pulled hamstrings, normal recovery time is 6-8 months 😱

Hopefully you can continue to get out and play, hamstring injuries can't be fun.

6-8 months😱

Seems like an awful long time, can you do anti inflammatory drugs?

Thanks.  Mine arrived last Friday.  I've worn them to work in my combat boots a couple times and they're definitely going to help.  I've also got them in my workout shoes.

Only problem/setback was Saturday...I walked 18, and I went to put them in my Spieth 2 shoes, which are already kind of narrow and snug, and the orthotic made the shoe too narrow and snug.  Haven't tried them in my HOVR's, but I suppose if I wear orthotics all week it won't be the end of the world to not have them for golf, right?

I would attempt to find something close as an over the counter option for your golf shoes if the customs won’t fit. Pretty important to keep the biomechanics as close as possible since it sounds like you have plantar fasciitis relatively in check right now

Oddly enough, tylenol works best. Normally that's not my go to - but at this point whatever works.

Been fighting my flat feet (specifically the right foot) for the better part of a year now, when it flares up I cannot put any pressure on my foot. But I should be getting new shoes today and custom orthotic inserts tomorrow, then I should be able to get back into the game.

Anyone have any experience playing through a little golfers elbow that can recommend a good compression brace you wore while playing?  I am experiencing some for the first time...not debilitating but I want to get on top of it before it is.

I wish you lived near me. There’s a guy here that is a wizard. He’s a physical therapist, but has learned to stretch people while “holding” or manipulating certain muscles/tendons. He’d have you back to 100% in no time! For years he’s helped me with my back, tight hamstrings, sciatica, etc. Seriously, he’s a wizard at “working out the kinks”. It’s unreal. He literally holds on the muscles and various areas as he stretches me. When he’s done, I feel like a million bucks!

Foot pain is a biotch!   Especially if you walk a lot so good luck on some relief and more miles to ya.

Well damn, I wish that too!

I spent last night icing, massaging with a Theragun, and ordering 3 different compression braces on Amazon.  Once they get here I’ll head to the range and see which one helps the most and is easiest to swing with.

Apparently it’s basically an overuse injury, which doesn’t seem like I should have, but I suppose with all the Orange Whip practices and warm-ups, SuperSpeed, and weight training...maybe I can see it.  The real fix is rest, but I live in Nebraska...I’ll rest when the season is over!

I think @jlukes has had some success with a brace. If it was him I’m sure he’ll chime in.

Not for the elbow - the Wrist Widget was a fantastic little brace that helped heal (and allowed me to play through) some wrist pain caused by TFCC damage

I might have to look at that for myself, got TFCC damage (among other wrist problems) that annoy me to varying levels most of the time

Have you found stretches to do? I know RICE, rest-ice-compression-elevation, with some anti-inflammatories are usually the fix, but there’s golf to be played!!!!

I’ll text my guy DJ, the wizard, and see what he recommends.

I found some exercises that are more isometric hold strengthening movements than stretches.

Thanks for contacting him for me!

I've been dealing with golfers elbow for a while, and I've done 2 things to help me (I say me, because it may not work for everyone).  1. I wear compression sleeves that I found on Amazon made by Tough Outfitters...they may not be the best out there, but they do the trick for me, and honestly I only figured out that they helped because it got cooler on the course and one of my playing partners had some in his bag he was willing to let me use.  2. I noticed that I had more pain (mine is in my right elbow) whenever I used my right arm more than my left to bring the club from setup to the top of my back swing...once I stopped doing that a lot of the pain subsided.  NOTE:  Using my right arm as more dominate in the downswing has not caused any elbow aggravation.  Hope that helps

Hamstring update; leg is feeling a lot better so i cut back on the Tylenol/aspirin cocktail. Going to play with a bunch of guys at Sawmill tomorrow. I'll be able to give the Cleveland guys an update on the course refurbishment.

Thanks for this.

Last night I have to admit I was beginning to freak out that I might miss a big chunk of my season, but with icing and a compression sleeve it seems I'll still be in the fight.

Was it odd wearing the sleeve to play or did you find you quickly got used to it?

Well...About 3.5 weeks ago I did a dumb thing.  I was demonstrating to my outfielders the proper footwork and angles to take when attacking a ball in the gap.  Chased down the ball, one long last step and a massive hyperextension later and I could not put weight on it.  During my demo I nearly blew my knee out. My knee swelled like a balloon.  Stayed that way for about 4-5 days. I am able to bend it with no pain and have even taken some dry swings without any pain. The injury is to my lead knee (left knee as I play right-handed) anyone have any tips on coming back from an injury like this?

Posted about this in an elbow tendinitis thread too, but I've basically shut it down and will do nothing but short game practice for the next 2-3 weeks, or however long it takes.

Last Thursday I hit some wedges and drivers at the driving range, mainly to try out a compression sleeve and make sure I could still take a normal full swing.  I felt a twinge in my forearm/elbow but nothing severe.  In hindsight, I probably should have been more concerned with stretching and/or ice after the range, because it was a lot more than a twinge the next day.

Friday was mid-40s and windy, and I swear I felt a bolt of lightning shoot up my arm every time I made contact.  I waited for it to warm up and get a little less severe, but driver and any kind of turf interaction became pretty damn painful.  I would have quit at 9 but it was a team Stableford event so I'd have left everyone hanging.

5 days removed from that, and I've been icing, stretching, using CBD cream, and blasting away twice a day with a massage gun.  I'm much improved but definitely not pain free.  The plan is to get to that "pain free" state and then keep treating if for another week.  Really want to get over this and not lose out on an entire season...

My back has been in decent shape for quite some time, but I tweaked it this weekend when unloading 5000lbs of donated clothing from our band truck. Yesterday it was spasming at work every time I moved in my chair. Been using a heating pad on and off along with some lidocaine for relief, and working from home today to try and keep up treating it so this goes away sooner rather than later. Usually when this happens it's about a week before things feel better, and I don't have the time for that malarkey.

Well...About 3.5 weeks ago I did a dumb thing.  I was demonstrating to my outfielders the proper footwork and angles to take when attacking a ball in the gap.  Chased down the ball, one long last step and a massive hyperextension later and I could not put weight on it.  During my demo I nearly blew my knee out. My knee swelled like a balloon.  Stayed that way for about 4-5 days. I am able to bend it with no pain and have even taken some dry swings without any pain. The injury is to my lead knee (left knee as I play right-handed) anyone have any tips on coming back from an injury like this?

As someone who was formally in the fitness industry and has recently taken up golf I would recommend consistent yoga as the most important exercise for amateur golfers especially. So much out there right now about adding strength and speed, etc but 99% of golfers would experience much more game improvement through a focus on mobility, flexibility, and balance than they would strength focused work. Being able to move through full range of motion would increase club speed for almost everyone and would lead to a significant decrease in overuse injuries.

For the last week or so back spasms have returned.  Oddly they are up at shoulder blade level this time and not as severe as the usual L4, L5 level spasms which would put me on the floor.  I am pretty sure it started because I was up and down doing baseboard at a friends house last weekend.  They subsided enough that I played 18 last evening but came back overnight and I'm back at square 1.   Advil, massage chair and hot tub therapy for me today.

I am certainly going to give that a try.  I just got back from a 5 day trip to Branson and it was unbelievably difficult to play with my knee being the way it was.  I felt my left leg flinch everytime I tried to shift my weight during the swing, I could never really get my weight to transfer.  Needless to say I played terribly and came in last in the whole competition. lol 

 

Thanks for the tip.
