10 Pulled Hamstring Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Tenderness
A hamstring injury can mean quite a significant tear in the muscle. This is going to lead to some very noticeable symptoms such as difficulty walking and, of course, the pain that comes with such an injury. What’s more is that you are likely to find that the area is quite tender to the touch for some time.
If your pulled hamstring is tender, using ice immediately after the injury or heat about 72+ hours after the injury may be helpful. Ask a musculoskeletal health professional about appropriate dosages and applications of ice and heat. In some cases, you may be put into a splint or a cast to help protect the injury. As uncomfortable as it can be, most people will make a full recovery in time.
