Well Fella's …
I found out about 3 weeks ago after some good ol' fashion pain in the back of my butt, thigh, down my leg, calf, into my ankle that i have a lil problem. At work doing a delivery one night, carrying a king mattress up a customers stairs i felt a burning sensation run down my butt/leg/into my ankle area…
Went to the Dr's… I have a tare in my hamstring. This has been causing a very unpleasant feeling when i have to stand a lot or sit a lot or require an odd movements with my right leg. I have been taking it easy out on the water. Now after my Dr visit today they say I need surgery, and i will have to rest, in the sense that I wouldn’t be able to fish for rest of summer, it takes 10-16weeks for muscle, hamstring, tendons and all that crap to heal, and then some physical therapy to get it back in place, stretches slow and all that junk. So I am looking at losing my musky season… I just asked the Doc…So can I put this off and have it done later, he said yes, but it could tare further and be a severe pain, and a more complicated surgery to repair hamstring. It's all BS… I am putting it off until at least after salmon season, hoping that it will heal it self, and he said it could if i rested it properly..
I might be a tad retarded here, but unless the pain is killing me I am fishing!!!
I mean, what would u do, miss work and fishing? There is workers comp…what at compensates our fishing??? (other then sex)…haha

All I can tell you is that it is a HELL of a lot better to miss one fishing season now than to be miserable for the next sixty seasons because you were a little too anxious to get out there. Tendons are not to be trifled with- get it fixed and don't worry about missing some fishing. Life is too short to damage your body.

Mid,
Dont F-around with your hammy.Playing football in my younger days,
I was taught to take good care of the ham.Im no doctor,but I know
its nothing to take lightly.And it does take a long time to heal.
The fish will be there next season.And soon it will be danger zone
for warm water muskies anyway.Keep off the leg! -kid
