A stingray weighing nearly 800lb is thought to be the largest freshwater fish ever caught by rod and line. It was so big that several men on board a small fishing boat had to take it in turns to help on the rod.
The hamstrings, a group of three muscles located in the back of the thigh, can contribute to lower back pain. So keeping the hamstrings properly stretched and limber is a good formula for relief of lower back pain or sciatica pain, which tends to run down one side of a leg. A regular routine of hamstring stretching eases tightness that generates stress on the low back. The hamstrings run from the pelvis down to the knee.
1 Rest â keep your leg as still as you possibly can and avoid physical activity. 2  Your GP may recommend using crutches in more severe cases. 3  Ice â apply cold packs (a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel will also work) to your hamstring for 15 to 20 minutes every two to three hours during the day.
