WHAT have i injured?

[drewski]

XXXXtreme newbie please be gentle and forgive the big story about to come but please help

so for the last six months i have been going to the gym for the first time in my life(to lose weight) and everything was going fine until i had a little soreness in the middle of my hamstring , no big deal so a few weeks later i notice a round shaped bruise at the top of my CALF but had no pain there? anyway i was at the docs anyway and said "oh by the way can you take a look at this" he said its nothing but advised me to see a physio about the hamstring, so i did and the physio checks me out and says that i have no problem with my hamstring its aproblem with my BACK even though ive had no pain there? (i dont know who to believe!?!?!) anyway i have carried on in the gym going easy with some pain killers but two weeks ago i was on the x trainer and i had to tap out because my hamstring/back/calf was actually making me feel nauseous, anyway does this sound familiar to anyone should i have regular massage? should i get an ultrasound? there are so many things online saying do this do that but im really lost, the main thing i want to do is run again i feel thats how i lose most of my weight, its driving me crazy PLEASE help thanks

I'd listen to your physio. You can have pain in one spot of your body that's referred from a different source. With your situation, there are a lot of muscles which originate from your pelvis (probably what your physio means by your "back") and span down to your legs.

So yeah, continue taking any advice from your physio. All in all, he/she knows best. Remember, diagnosing injuries isn't an exact science. More of an art, since any professional in the world can't do any more than provide an educated guess.
