Answers:
This happens to me so much, I've actually pulled my hamstring in the same leg 2 times a year for the past 3 years, it's horrible!. Honestly, i put a ice pack on it cause it helps with the pain!. Also, stay away from physical activity like sports and going for walks and everything, but at the same time, once a hour or so get up and do a lap around your kitchen or living room, it might hurt A LOT, but it'll help it, because if you just stay sitting down and being lazy it'll take way longer to heel!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Try to lie still for long periods of time!. Lay on the ground with the bad leg elevated on a stool or an ottoman or something!. You can take some pain meds if its really bothering you!. Other than that, there's not a ton you can do!. Sometimes icing it can make it numb and less painful!. Just try to avoid as much physical activity as possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'd say that it's a bit more than a pull!. You may want to see a doctor to check for a strain or worse!.
In the meantime, ice it, take anti-inflammatories like Motrin or aleve, elevate it and rest!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
