Answers:
you should let the doctor know next time you see him/her... you should go see a doctor for that... and your hamstring has shouldnt be effecting your knees i know the muscle is connected to it but if ur knee hurts is due to something being wrong in ur knees... for now i would wear a knee brace when u play ball but i advise u to see a dr asapHealth Question & Answer

Most definitely. I myself am a year round swimmer, and have torn my subscapularis, had I not said anything, I could have done irreparable damage, and ended my swimming career, as well as perhaps further prevention of every day activities later in life. Tell a doctor. Health Question & Answer

i actually did the same thing! for basketball season, i just wore an oversized knee brace over my hamstring (thigh area). it helped a lot and kept circulation. I'm sure you could tell a doctor and get a more professional brace for your problem.Health Question & Answer

yes u should tell them but no a knee brace wont really help.
if it makes u feel better u could use it.
it could help...never know. maybe try it out just walking at first and see if it helps. if it does then wear it when u play.Health Question & Answer

First i would see a doctor... dont wait till the next appointment... you also might want to check into a full lef brace...my cheer coach has one and it works well for her... i hope i helped!!! :)Health Question & Answer
