Hello Dr. Andrew i was just wondering if you could tell me how could i fix my hamstring muscle i pull last year, the pain is severe and i cant really understand whats happening with my leg every now and than i would pull the muscle in the same spot and it will not go away. Can you tell please give me advice in what you think i should do?
Hi, Thanks for your query. From the description that you have provided, it seems that you have suffered a muscle sprain. Avoid massaging the area. Doing a hot fomentation will be helpful. Avoid weight-bearing on the foot.  Keep the foot elevated on two pillows while resting. In case the pain is persistent even after taking a mild painkiller, then you might need stronger prescription medicines like muscle relaxants after consulting your orthopedic. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
