I just saw your other video showing you are working out your legs out again. Nice! I wasn't sure if a partial hamstring avulsion was repairable without surgery. It looks like you're doing fine starting out again!
After the injury, I could not run, barely walk, leg was totally black and blue, I had trouble walking downhill, down stairs, etc. I opted the surgical route despite the risks. I'm glad I did. I had a great surgeon (he's the Philadelphia Phillies' surgeon) who did a great job. Matter of fact, my repaired leg is stronger than my non-injured leg. If I were you, I would opt for the surgery before the muscle retracts further to the point you no longer have the option. You'll be happy a year from now!
FYI, I had a total hamstring avulsion 3/2009. I opted the surgical route, because there is no way possible the body can heal a detached tendon. The surgery requires an extradinary amount of committment on your part, as well as family members to see you through the first 6 weeks post-op. Without the repair, there really is no way that you can regain what you've trained for over the years, because you are now literally missing muscle(s) that formerly provided strength, movement, etc.
Thank you all for your support! It means a lot! No, I don't need crutches, but I'm just limited in my training. I hope training is going well for all of you!
As one who has suffered from a complete detachment of the triceps tendon, my only route was surgery, and while it puts fitness goals and competitive dreams on hold for some time, if the drive is there, you do come back, stronger and better then you were before. It took me a full year to get back to about 100% and now I've surpassed my previous limits. You will recover, you will get stronger and you will succeed in the goals that you have!
