I injured my hamstring in October not knowing it was my hamstring until November, so I took a month off. My orthopedist approved that I may start doing skills slowly again after a month. Today was a bit over the month mark so I did a few cartwheels along with my normal stretching. It didn't hurt to do them but after I "thought" I felt pain. I'm not sure if maybe it actually hurts or if I might just be confusing a bit of stiffness from not doing any tumbling for awhile for pain. Has anyone had this happen? I've been extremely nervous about starting to do skills again for fear that I'd never be able to tumble again. This leads me to believe that I may be imagining it or confusing it for stiffness. If I do any more small skills and experience pain before my next appointment, I will rest and contact my ortho immediately.
Note: I can not compete due to time conflicts so I'm in no rush to get back to tumbling, I just really enjoy gymnastics and do not want to injure my hamstring again.
