Here's an odd one. I noticed a few weeks ago that my left hamstring is extremely weak, as in even light exercise will make it quiver and the lack of strength is noticeable for a couple of days after. At the Kuoshu tournament in Baltimore, I had to drop out of my last four divisions because I pulled a groin muscle trying to compensate. It's never sore, it's just weak. Unless I'm moving upwards, as in stairs or pushing up after kneeling, I don't notice it.

My concern is this. Had I pulled it, I would remember the injury. My fear is that it's a nerve problem, because it cropped up after the five hour plane ride to Baltimore. I've got an appointment with my doctor, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and, if so, what was it and how long did it last?

So far folks, middle age sucks.
