High hamstring prp injection

On Tuesday 18th November I went and got my first prp injection. This has been a long time coming. I've suffered with high hamstring tendonosis for the last few yrs on and off and after my last race at Stromlo I decided it's time for the injection. I want to keep a diary of how the injury goes with the injections.
So on Tuesday 18th I had the injection and it was simple and pain free. After the injection it felt fine and there was no flare up

Wednesday 19th day 1 - No training, I just went about my normal day and noticed my hamstring felt more relaxed. No pain except for certain stretch positions

Thursday 20th day 2 - No training.  Leg felt pretty much the same as yesterday.  Still sore if I sit on it for too long

Friday 21st day 3 - Easy 9km at 5:40 pace. Hamstring felt better at times and the same as it has been at other times. Rest of the day it felt awesome

Saturday 22nd day 4 - Very very easy 10km at Trotters. Ran an average of 5:50 pace. Hamstring was pretty good but groin was a little sore. Not sure if it was from running so slow

Sunday 23rd day 5 - Rode the bike 100km from Tumbi Umbi to Swansea and back. Hamstring was great until about 45km then was uncomfortable. It seemed to be ok riding though but when I finished that was a different story. My left butt around where the injury is was absolutely painful and stayed that way for the rest of the day

Monday 24th - day 6 - no training.  Butt very sore

Tuesday 25th - day 7 - no training.  Butt still sore

Wednesday 26th - day 8 - no training.  Butt sore but slightly better

Thursday 27th - day 9 - I went and saw Stan physio and asked if I should do any eccentric exercises. He suggested doing 3x20 eccentric leg curls. Did that then sore leg but came good as the day went on

Friday 28th - day 10 - 3x20 eccentric leg curls.  Leg quite achy all day

Saturday 29th - day 11 - no training except a surf. Could feel leg surfing. Leg was sore but came good as the day progressed. Was at Platinum chiro xmas party until really late and was sitting for most of the night and that flared the glute and hamstring up
