Hello I just played soccer after pulling a hamstring a week ago. It started hurting about a bit and i saw a dark purple spot like a bruise on my hamstring slash behind my knee. in the last ten minutes the bruise has spread down my leg turing into regular bruises
Dear patient You have sprained your hamstring muscles, and it needs rest for at least 3 weeks for complete recovery. If you start playing before this time sprain will worsen and recovery will be delayed and pain may become chronic. So take rest and avoid soccer for 2 weeks duration and then start gradually increasing activity. Meanwhile, take tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for 5 days and apply ice packs frequently to reduce inflammation. All the best.
