Pulled hamstring, really bad? Will it heal? Need to go to hospital?


Question:
my boyfriend pulled his hamstring and thinks he might have torn it in half. He cant walk on it at all. If anyone even touches it it hurts really bad. Should he go to the hospital? What theyre thinking is wait 2 days and if it doest get any better have him go to the hospital.

Answers:
Well I really doubt he tore it in half but he certainly could have torn some muscle fibers or torn a tendon. Only imaging with an MRI or even possibly an x-ray can determine this. It will not get better in 2 days so why wait go to the doc.
If he can't walk at all, then he should go to the ER.
This ounds like a tear, not just a pull. Get him to a sports medicine clinic.
Since he can't walk, it is severe enough to go to the hospital. It may require sure surgery.
