Things are improving.
I did a 5k park run last week after 6 weeks of laying off the running, I started at the back of the field of 300+ runners and jogged slowly, gradually increasing the pace until the hamstring 'twinged' then I backed off after over taking 100+ runners finished around 31 minutes, did some stretches for a couple of days and all good.
Did another park run yesterday with my friend, same technique, built up pace slowly, 28 minutes finish time and no 'twinges' at all.
The best therapy is what you @Hunting Wife found, rest, stretching and easing back into it.
I won't post up a picture of my healed leg
Cheers
Richard

Why does everyone have to do PT"potty training"again just because they injured themselves?
Did you mess your pants when you hurt youself?,,,Ha!Ha!

Didn't you have a nasty accident a few years back involving an ATV?
Is this injury related to that?
Maybe it wasn't you?
Cheers

Side stepping down a decent drop and my motion for the next step began before I planted my prior step, I believe. Happened pretty quick and rolled a few times before sprawling out stopped the motion.
Since the prior wreck, my body takes a bit to adapt to uncommon settings. My solo camp/hunt gear pack was pretty heavy for 4 day hike/hunt and something my body takes time to adjust. Thankfully this occurred on my way out and prob around a mile from the truck.
That and age doesn't help... Haha! Well it should, mentally, though I'm a knucklehead that pushes more than I should.
Always excited to get out though so no complaints from that department.

Hey guys,
For what it's worth i'll pop down a medical opinion from working in pro sport...
Firstly the bleeding, don't worry about it. It normally means you've just torn through the fascia too so the blood escapes out of its container and bleeds down from the tear. The amount you bleed also varies between people and there's other factors that effect the bleeding such as continuing to play sport or going out on the piss versus compressing and icing it (the latter helps to stop the bleeding).
Regarding treatment: This depends on the type of tear ie have you torn your fascia, muscultendinous junction or do you have an intratendinous tear, the latter is treated differently, takes significantly longer and has a significant increase in likelihood of re-tearing. This diagnosis is vest done with MRI (ultrasound depends on practitioner experience so can be hit and miss!).
Treatment: dependent on type of hamstring tear. fascial tears can be pushed with return to plays 7-10 days post tear. MTJ tears depend on severity but your looking somewhere between 4-8 weeks for a springier (this includes at least 2 weeks of top end speed as a part of your rehab process). Intradendonous tears you're looking at anything between 4-12 weeks. No point of rushing them as they have a significant likelihood of reoccurrence and you need to load a tendon differently (initially) to how you would load a MTJ or fascial tear.
Long and short is get it MRI'd so you know the type of tear, the severity of tear and to which hamstring it is (for example your long head of biceps is your power hamstring (most commonly torn by sprinters) and your semitendinosus is your 'stretch' hamstring).
Hope this helps!
