instruction: hello doctor I picked up a grade hamstring injury from playing football around four months ago stupidly I tried to play football again three to four weeks after the initial injury which caused me to pull my hamstring again I have then left it for around two and a half months and I have slowly tried to get back into exercise I started by cycling which I had no problems with I have also been away skiing and I have not felt any pain whatsoever however since I came back from skiing I went to play football yesterday and although I was fine for the majority of the game once the game had finished I noticed my hamstring felt sore it also is still a little bit sore this morning is this a good thing or a bad thing I could easily run on it now no problem but it does feel slightly sore is there anything I should or should not do
output: hello I read your concern in my opinion you had enough time to recover from tears however a grade hamstring injury needs a bit more concentrated management I think you should do proper rehabilitation to completely gain strength and stability exercises like bridging single leg bridges clamshell swiss ball jackknife swiss ball hamstring curls step ups and goblet squats will help you gain stability and strength slowly you should start running if everything goes well then you should start gradual progressive running sessions these exercises to be done for three weeks and then progress with the next level of rehabilitation after progressing to full strength and stability and once you are confident then slowly you should return to play I hope this helps
