2 weeks ago, i was doing stading leg curls and then i just felt the muscle rip, i could hardly walk and straigten my leg out, i went home and read about it on the internet and from the symptoms i read i had a stage 2 pull, i have like small bruises on the lower hamstring and a big red bruise on my upper calf for some reason but my calf is just fine

it started feeling better after a few days and after i week i tried training hams and couldnt really do it so i skipped it, another week after which is now it felt good, no more pain, i still didnt train it though so i dunno if i could or not but i did some back today and started with some bent over rows and **** i felt i rip again but it wasnt at bad as the first time but i still have trouble straightening my leg

**** guys i hate injuries, i dunno if i should go to the doctors or not, hate going to them, anybody else pull their hamstring? does it just need rest or do they have to reconnect the muscle??

yup. doctor. Any injury you should be seeing a doctor. Being a man is dealing with issues and problems - not ignoring them and hoping they go away.

pulling it sucks. I tore it, bruised from ass to toes. Ice it, no heat. Do not stretch it either for a while. Now guess what, you will be 200% more proned to pulling or tearing it again...nice eh!!! Thats what the Dr told me.

they have no reason to ask that and you have no reason to indicate as such.

I tore my MCL a month ago and went to the hospital. They asked no such questions.

I was looking up DC training videos and found this:

It's a bodybuilder recieving ART therapy and something else to help with soft tissue mobilization. I didn't really know a lot about ART but this video helps explain it. Definitely an option to consider.
