Tore my hammy last sunday...fun....went to the dr. and didnt give me much rehab advice other than stay off it. Trying my best but i am active as hell and can generally not sit still.....still have major bruises and cant run but am getting full range of motion back.....how long should i wait to start stretching etc...
Torn Hamstring

goat - i feel your pain as i tore my hammy in high school football. the worst part about it is the recurrence rate of hamstring injury if not properly rehabbed.
i am a physical therapist in lubbock, so i am of no help.
however, the best sports guy in austin is pieter kroon. he is with ted spears, md in the arboretum area. he treats all of the runners in austin and is excellent.
i would ask your md for a prescription for PT for 3 to 4 visits.
main thing is to not overstretch to hamstring too early. wait a couple of weeks prior to aggressive stretching and consider swimming / bike / elliptical temporarily.
take care.
