Does Marijuana Stay In The Body LONGER IF IT IS SMOKED OR IF IT EATEN?
Answers:
Do not use heat unless it is a very minor pull - better off using ice for 10 minutes on every hour. Using heat can increase the blood flow to the area, making it swell up like a balloon. If in doubt, always use ice.
Remember RICE:
Rest
Ice - 10 minutes every hour
Compression - keep it wrapped in an ACE bandage or neoprene wrap for support
Elevation - keep your foot above the knee, knee above the hip. This will help decrease the swelling.
If the hamstring is still a problem after a week, see your doctor and ask for a referal to a good physical therapist.
Good luck!
