Got this sharp stabbing pain when stretching my hamstring a couple weeks ago out of nowhere one morning when I woke. Still hurts. Thanks.

I have the same thing when stretching my hammy a stinging nip the back of my left heel. No pain at all when walking etc only when stretching. Are there any exercises for this?

Hello
Thanks for the informative video.
Recently and in about 1 week i started to have strange pain in my left heel, like at the very back and bottom of it, the pain is strong but it only happens when either 1- i have my leg in a straight position and i stretch my foot (hamstrings) towards me, so like i can lift my leg up in straight position it doesnt hurt but only when i pull my feet towards me i feel this sharp pain.
2- the second position is when i try to bend over while keeping my knee slightly forward, so imagine it a similar to Squat position, this also gives me the same pain although a bit less strong.
I must say the pain is exclusive only to my left heel, the right one is perfectly fine.

I have no idea what this might be, im scared its something that will stay with me for all time, i hope it will go away on its own, did you have any patient that had this similar issue? how did you fix it?
i do have a Scoliosis if that matters, but it never caused me pains like this and its in a stable angle, i may get back pain after hours of standing straight though. i dont think its related to my problem but i figure i will point this out as well.
