[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Torn hamstring

Posted: 1/19/2017 6:52:09 PM EDT

Missed a step coming down some stairs and landed awkwardly on my left foot. Leg twisted and I went down like a ton of bricks in severe pain.

MRI yesterday showed torn hamstring. Going Tuesday to see orthopedist to find out what my options are. Right now I can barely walk. I'm 58 and in fairly good shape. Retired about a year ago.

Anybody else have to deal with this?

Shit.
That is going to make your next 10K race a REAL challenge.

I did all the 10ks I'm ever going to do when I was active duty, lol.

My brother did that snowboarding. Got all black. Was pretty nasty looking. I guess his wasn't as bad as yours as it healed up on its own. Just needed crutches to stay off it.
