What Causes Tightness In The Hamstring Muscle When Diagnosed With Migraine?

I have had a migraine for 4 days. I am also fatigued, feel chilled although I do not have a fever, muscle aches for a week, especially tight ham strings (1 above back of knee) that is so severe that it is hard to lift the legs to walk or get out of the car. And not sleeping well because it hurts to move
