possible torn ham string?
(2 discussions)
I pulled what I believe was my ham sting in my right inner thigh area. Then a couple days later fell over my daughters bike reinjuring it. Now the whole inner thigh area is red and purple covering an area of about a foot long. Should I be worried or is this normal for a torn ham string? It is not hot to touch or swollen, just sore.

it sounds like you have had a tear in the area, ice the area for 15-20 mins every 2 hours for a few days until there is no sore or tight feeling and then start to rehab it me slowly stretching and re-strengthing the muscle.stay away from hot baths and any kind of heat treatment at the moment until all the tightness has eased up!

FOR A COUPLE OF WEKKS, BEHIND MY KNEE HAS BEEN PULLING AND BURNING WHEN I WALK. THEN ONE DAY WHILE WALKING UP SOME STAIRS SOMETHING JUST POPPED AND I COULDN’T PUT ANY WEIGHT ON MY LEG WITHOUT BEING IN ALOT OF PAIN. I HAVE ICED IT AND NOW I CAN WALK ON IT BUT IT STILL BURNS AND PULLS ON EITHER SIDE OF MY LEG BEHIND MY KNEE. THE MORE I WALK, THE WORST THE PAIN GETS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AFTER STAYING OFF IT ALL NIGHT WHILE I SLEEP, THERE’S NOT MUCH PAIN IN THE MORNING BUT IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE ALL DAY. ANY IDEAS?
