Who has experience with very tight hamstring and painful hamstring aft

I have spinal stenosis that affects my right leg. I take Gabapentin to control periodic pain and constant numbness and tingling.
I never connected the hamstrings with that.
I need spinal fusion surgery but first I have to take care of my knees. That's my tale of woe.
Thanks for the heads up.

@jps1313 , as I understand the doctors, specific nerves were not operating enough to supply one of the muscles in my calf and one in my quads (L4). MRI showed atrophy and fat infiltration, basically the muscles dying. Other muscles were having to compensate. Obviously this didn't just happen, but the docs believe that just the trauma of surgery and my gait change was enough to start causing the considerable pain I was having iny calf. All weird but I have a plan forward. And yep, it includes back surgery. Ready to get the show on the road. Best to you!
