Well at least I know I wasn't being a wuss! "There is a large tear of the hamstring muscles at their origin, the tear measuring 14.6 x 5.8 x 4.4cm. The biceps femoris and probably the semimembranosus muscles are involved." (gee, 2 out of 3 ain't bad!) The lady who did the ultrasound didn't seem to think there was much muscle actually still attached... I KNEW I was hurting for a reason! Have an appointment with a surgeon on Monday morning. betty, paying for her sins now <grin>
