I think i pulled my hamstring please help!?

Question

yesterday i was playing football and i was running and another teammate had tackled me by putting all of his weight on my right leg. i could not get up so i had to be helped off of the field. i got it checked out and it hurt a little bit but i went back in the game. i ended up injuring it again and this time i was out for good. i have a doctors appointment later today but i feel like its not soon enough. it still hurts bad and I'm staying off of it but its hard cause im alone and have no one to take care of me. what do you think it is???

Answer 1

since the guy tackled you by putting all of his weight of your leg, it sounds like a deep bruise.  

What did you do the second time?

for now just do some light stretching and ice your leg

Answer 2

we couldn't be sure until an x-ray or physical exam is done. just rest and see what the doctor has to say.

Answer 3

You have hurt your leg but I can't tell by your description if it is the hamstring specifically.  A hamstring pull would hurt in the rear of the thigh. The pain is constant and throbbing at the location.  If you hurt your knee the pain is excruciating at the location.  If you can hop is probably the best way to move today.  Try to keep all pressure off of your bad leg.  The doctor is going to prescribe a pain killer and you will probably be told to use warm water for treatment at home.  He will give you an ace bandage for your thigh.  You will probably be coming home on crutches.  Take care of yourself and make some friends.

Answer 4

Have you tried calling your doctor, to see if you can go in earlier today?
