I have pulled a tendon from my hamstring or pulled a hyperextension... my doctor didn't really look like he knew much...only told me to rest up as the only solution... (of course)... my coach thought it was a hyperextension, the doc thinks it's a hamstring tendon... either way it's on the sides behind my right knee...that muscle...

been using tigerbalm a little on it.
