Pulled hamstring muscle

[1SmoothTE]

Hello everyone. I play Semi Pro football here in the Raleigh-Durham NC area. I am 28 years old and am relatively in good shape. Well at least I thought. At the end of one of the practices two weeks ago we ran some gassers to finish up. Well I pushed off real hard and did something to my left hamstring. I have never pulled my hammy before.

I have no idea how to treat it other than rest. It has been two weeks since the pull. My leg still has some pain. If I try to walk real fast I feel it. Even when I sit here at my PC at work I notice it does not feel normal.

HELP!!! I need to get back to practicing and ready for our first pre season game that is in 3 weeks.

Anyone??

Compression 30 minutes at a time, Ice 30 minutes at a time and stretch it 3 times a day (sretch and hold don't bounce) for a strain if you pulled it you need to see a docter. I pulled a hamstring last winterand used this method I was running again in a couple weeks.
