Like 8 or 10 years ago my mom tore hers completely off the bone. That in turn caused really bad blood clots and now she is on blood thinners for the rest of her life.

A FRIEND ON MY XC TEAM HAS A TORN HAMSTRING. HE CAN STILL RUN WITH IT BUT IT HURTS.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT HE GOES FOR DEEP TISSUE MASSAGES OR SOMETHING.

Find yourself a good physical therapist and do what they tell you. A torn hammy isn't like a blown ACL where you need invasive surgery and you will be laid up for a while. However, it is an injury that can linger for a LONG time and makes for a hammy that can more easily be re-torn. Take your time healing up and rehabbing and don't push it too hard too soon.

I had one back in March that was pretty bad. The back of my leg was black and blue, a bruise just bigger than my hand. It took awhile to heal, I couldn't run for a month or flex my leg.

I wasn't back to 100% till around May. I suggest iceing it a bunch, if you just sitting around put ice on it. Do a lot of stretchs everyday. Once you don't feel much pain start light jogging and just slowly work your way back.

Takes time so be patient.

I tore my hamstring (a partial avulsion of the ischial tuberosity) a few years back. For me, walking was no problem at all; however, I couldn't play lacrosse or ski. They take forever to heal; just ask Arian Foster.

apparently if it's really serious doctors make you bend your leg as if you were doing a quad stretch, then tape your leg in that position so that you're like stuck in a quad stretch. that way you don't pull/tear it any more and its easier to heal, i think it'd look pretty weird though

in the military they do that for quad strains, it's super painful but it's the fastest way to make them heal, because the more you stand on the leg, the more blood flows to that area and therefore the longer it stays swollen/painful
