Hamstring Tendonitis??

At km 7 in to a 13K run this morning, I developed a rather intense pain at the back of my leg in the bend of my knee. I hobbled home for the remaining 6K After doing some preliminary interest research, I'm thinking it may be hamstring tendonitis.
Any other suggestions??
I've been trying to stay off it - I've had ice on and off it - but it still hurts. I will be pissed if 4 months in to running, I have to stop

Here's a list of causes for pain in that area:

For a proper diagnosis, you'll probably need to see a sports doctor, orthopedist, or physiotherapist.
In the mean time, avoid activities that cause pain.

Great resource - thanks Now I'm even more confused0

Have you been having any calf issues on that side? A strained calf can trick you sometimes0

See a doctor.0

See an orthopedic doctor. I had issues with my hamstring years ago and it never healed properly. Not something you want to mess with for sure!0

No calf issues, and no issues before today. The majority of the day spent with ice on it has helped, no more "pain", but I can still feel it.
If not better in a few days will definitely make an appointment with my doctor.0
