HuskerFalcon 7 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I believe that i only pulled my left hamstring (i felt a pop and it is located very high almost an inch below the buttock),and it has been 2 weeks and 5 days to be exact. Ive gone to therapists almost every day and they had me start on a bike, stretch lightly, and then an ultra sound after for the first week. Then ive started last week doing more stretches and worked the leg a little more same goes for this past week. I feel almost at 80% speed when i run but am afraid if i hit that last gear it might pull again or something. I do feel tightness when i hit that percent or try to go above it a bit. Is this normal or is it just my head and i can actually go full speed. i really would like to know because i need to be back for my team in baseball. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tipp78 51 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Man I've never hurt my hamstring before but I've had various other injuries, lower back injuries, ankle injuries...anyways. I think honestly one of the hardest parts to get over was the mental part of the injury. For example I still hesitate to go all the way down for squats because I'm afraid of hurting my lower back. My best advice is listen to your body and keep trying to get your hamstrings stronger. Also have you done any resistance training for your hamstring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HuskerFalcon 7 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yes every day I have certain workouts to improve the strength of it. I'd just hate to go full bore and re injure it knowing districts start July 9. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tipp78 51 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Honestly there are a few guys in here that could answer this better but I think you should just keep trying to rehab your hamstring before you go balls out. You still have a few weeks to recover and strengthen the injury site. Best of luck to your bro, just BE CAREFUL...you dont want this coming back to haunt you, because you didnt know when to quit.

HerFavoriteColo(u)r. 41 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Do what are called miracle 100's. Find a track or nice flat runway and start off at 50% speed. Increased the speed until you get to 100% (or as far as you can go) and then go back down to 50%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DefenseWinzCliche 209 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 How serious was it? Did your hamstring bruise like crazy? I strained my hamstring and the whole back of my leg, from my butt to the back of my knee, was purple, black, and green. It SUCKED! But if you're ok enough to run and stuff, just make sure you're nice and stretched out before you do any anything. Your stretching routine should tell you how much you can go, if you can't get a good stretch in without pain, don't run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shc 2,276 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 the last thing you want to do is let it get weaker. If you do, it will be a problem forever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Threepac Daddy 275 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 yeah a hamstring injury is like an injury to the ribs, it takes some time heal and get over it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youngbloodz 16,282 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 ice your hamstring everyday. Also do heat treatments. Got to stretch and get a massage on it daily also. Those are the quickest way to get back. Only time will make it 100 percent again. The mental part will be the toughest though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I strained my hamstring and was out for about a week but I iced it at night and heated it before i ran. From time to time i still felt it but it was a mental thing because i felt no pain. after 80 percent do you feel pain? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
