(m)\n\nthe immediate treatment protocol for many sports-related injuries, including hamstring pulls or strains. \n\n\nRest the affect area. \n\nIce the injury. \n\nCompress the injury (Apply a bandage or other compressive device) \n\nElevate the injury \n\nIf the muscle is completely torn, surgery may be necessary to repair and reattach it. No treatment is complete without proper rehabilitation to strengthen and stretch the muscle. \n\nPreventing hamstring injury \n\nThe best way to prevent a hamstring injury is to stretch, both before and after an activity. Weak or tight hamstrings can contribute to low back pain, so doing exercises to strengthen and stretch the hamstrings may also reduce your risk of low back pain. \n\nSit down and straighten your left leg. The sole of your right foot should rest next to the inside of your straightened leg. Lean slightly forward and touch your foot with your fingers. Keep your left foot upright with the ankle and toes relaxed. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat with right leg.

You ought to do your best to keep the swelling down so ice it after working it and take IBuprophen when you are not running/marching on it. (Usually a bad idea to take it during because then you won't be able to feel the pain that tells you when you are injuring it more.) You're gonna wanna get it checked out though, it can lead to other problems while you are trying to compensate for your hamstring. \nYouv'e gotta cut back as much as you can in order for it to heal. And always make sure you warm it up and THEN stretch it gently before actually using it. Do not do any sprints if you can help it and ease into whatever you do.

A common injury especially if you had just came back after a break and went all gusto.\n\nThe best thing would have been to ice it the first day and take an anti-inflammatory right away.  Now all you can do is not aggravate it.  Leave it alone and baby it.  It may take awhile, stretch gentle and don't throw the leg for awhile.\n\nUse a roller to roll out your IT band, in other words roll out your outer thigh.  This will help your inner thigh because it will help relax your inner thigh.  They are all connected

Seems to me that padding is the answer.  Could you wrap it in several inches of padding to soften the blow from the landing?  Maybe try some bubble wrap, etc.

There can be 3 potential reasons: \n1. Injury \n2. There's no injury, but your posture is not right \n3. There's no injury and your posture is right. Your hamstring is simply not used to what it is doing\n\nMy advice is to ask your yoga teacher (presumably an experienced one) first. This would confirm or eliminate #2 or #3. If no avail, then go see a physician.

Try to ice the affected area-add an ice pack and compressive bandage if you can to control swelling.Avoid heat (hot baths,hot water bottles,heat pads,heat cream etc.) for the first few days as this will make your injury worse.After the first few days you can start to use heat to help with the healing process,-try alternating between hot and cold compresses to speed up recovery. If the pain is significant, or if the symptoms do not steadily resolve, medical evaluation should be obtained.\nGet well soon.

There is not much they can do for it. That happened to my dad, the pain very bad so i feel for you. It will go away but you are very suseptable to re-injuring it so regardless of what a Dr may or may not be able to do for you i would speak to one and get up to speed on this type of injury. Make no mistake it is very serious.

It will probably take weeks if not a few months for it not to be sore any longer, an ex of mine did this once and was in pain for a while after getting it fixed.  Now he didn't have these but maybe there are some pt (physical therapy) exercises you can do to help it heal.  Good luck hope you feel better.

Try contacting a physical therapist and/or masseuse in that area.

the more you walk on it the longer it's going to take to heal. and the more chances you'll have to have it heal incorrectly.\n\nsuck it up and use your crutches.

stretch before and after, this will prevent the damage..\n\nas for repair drink lots of water and take it easy. take some motrin or advil if the pain is really bugging you.\n\nyou shouldn't be hurting yourself when lifting weights. this isn't a good habit to get into because it will just lead to problems..

Well, I will actually try to answer you (as if you never thought of going to the doctor, oy).  I had the same thing for a long time, it was a taekwondo injury.  When I ran, it killed me for a couple of days (and this was *after* 3 months of physical therapy, which I'm convinced made it worse, and ice and heat and more ice and heat).  The thing that helped me most was honestly yoga.  I did it on and off for years before the injury and just picked it up again.  I have never felt better.  Deep tissue massage did nothing for me what lengthening and strengthening the muscle did.  Go easy at first, and if it feels okay, try a little more.  I can now run again (after about 4 years) with no repercussions at all.  I'm healed!  Good luck and feel better!

RICE:  R=rest, I=ice, C=compression, E=elevation.  Basically, try not to move it, wrap it semi-tightly in an ace bandage, ice it for 15 min on, one hour off, and keep it elevated.  See a doctor ASAP to make sure there is no serious damage or fractures.

put a towel on the floor and scrunch it up with your toes.  Do this over and over again, and it will help take away the shin splints.

ice it for 20 minutes if it's an injury. Do this once every hour.

Rest. Sometimes taking it easy a day or two can help with recovery.\n\nApply ice if it gets very painful. This helps keep any inflamation down.\n \nPerform rehabilitation exercises (low-impact) regularly. Swimming and cycling are excellent activities for an individual with shin splints. Try to avoid excessive impact while recovering.\n\nWear shock absorbing insoles in shoes. This can prove helpful when getting back to a running routine if the shin splints still hurt.\n\nI know what you're going through...shin splints are a pain. x.x Hope these help.
