My hamstrings also hurt a lot after exercise; a "Charlie horse" that seems too soon for that to typically occur. My wife has also had that symptom. Neither of us have any objective weakness, and neurology exams and EMG/NCVs on both of us were negative. My Lyme ELISA was equivocal; further Lyme titers pending. (We had travelled in South America, including a rain forest, one year ago).
Any thoughts on the above, and the possibility of a viral explanation for our symptoms occurring within weeks of each other? I've read about possible viral causes of neuropathies and of Benign Fasciculation Cramp Syndrome. Thanks.
