How long does it take for a pulled hamstring to heal?

Question

My doctor said one week and pretty much don't do anything that causes pain and to stretch it a little each day and take some ibuprofen for the pain. Is there anything else I should know or do? I've done a lot of walking (didn't hurt and if it started I just slowed down and it felt better). It is been a little over three days and it still hurts is that normal or have I injured it more?

Answer 1

Let it rest, i done that once while playing football. Just let it rest and eat well, protein would be recommended.
