Things to help a very pulled muscle? I pulled my hamstring working out and it hurts to walk. It feels physically tight in the back of my leg. I’ve been using ice, heat, and elevation on it since I’ve done it. Is there anything else I can do? I have to be on my feet all day tomorrow so I really don’t want to hurt it anymore than it is.

Get some icy hot and wrap it with an ace bandage or that kinetic tape

Ibuprofen and maybe a soak in the tub with epsom salt?

@pookiedoo, ill definitely do that! I couldn’t remember if compression was good for pulled muscles or not!
@hatchet-face, already did the epsom salt soak and it caused my muscle to spasm like crazy. Still alternating between heat and ice, but heat makes the muscle spazz.

You can YouTube k tape techniques, basically you can take the pressure away from your hamstring. Ice for the first 72 hours then heat. Drink plenty of fluids.
