Why Are My Hamstrings So Tight Even When I Stretch Them
It’s unlikely you just need to stretch your hamstring to make the pain in the back of the leg go away. It may also be that you don’t have a hamstring injury at all but instead have Sciatica or irritation at the Sciatic nerve instead. Having an injury to the hamstring would prompt a progressive strength and stretching routine to rehab the hamstring, if you didn’t have an injury it’s more likely you have Sciatica symptoms from sitting so long at work, on the couch, etc. See your local physical therapist to get a program for Sciatica or a hamstring strain.

How to Prevent Pain with stretching
The best way to prevent pain with stretching is to get into a regular stretching routine. Start off small and slow, start off stretching a few areas each day, focusing on 1 or 2 major muscle groups a day until you’ve gotten a handle on how to stretch each area. Over time make your daily stretching routine longer, stretch every major muscle group daily, and make sure to do strength and cardiovascular workouts 3x/week as well.
