Ok, I'm in track, I'm in ninth grade, and I pulled or strained my hamstring Monday, March 15. It has now been over a week and I'm still in pain. I can jog lightly, but can not sprint, I'm a hurdler, sprinter, long jumper and high jumper, currently, I am not very flexible, but I'm still fast, I don't mean to talk about myself or brag, what I meant by that was that I hear that sometimes faster people have a tendecy to hurt themselves more because of more stress on the body, plus I'm not flexible.
I was also wondering if it is possible that it could be somethine other than a pull or strain. Examples, something weird like plantar fasciitis, Sever's disease, or internal impingement of the shoulder, I have had those 3 before, and the cause was mostly because of not being flexible, being too tight. Is there anything like that only in the hamstring area.
Also, I have been seeing the trainer, recieved ultrasound treatment one day, and many massages, heat pads, heating, I've been icing every night, Following the R.I.C.E. guideline I have also been getting in hot tubs, stretching more lately, and doing a lifting routine with the trainer.
I just need some way to get better, my first track meet is next Tuesday, and I haven't really been able to practice for a week and a half now, I need to get back as quick as possible, pain free, I just need some input, THANK YOU
