What should I do to treat a sudden hamstring injury where I heard a "pop" and now have severe pain when putting weight on my leg, even after applying ice and Moov spray?
I?m so sorry to hear about your injury. Hearing a 'pop' followed by severe pain and difficulty bearing weight suggests a significant hamstring strain or tear. Please rest immediately and avoid putting any weight on your leg; using crutches is highly recommended. Continue applying ice wrapped in a cloth for 15 minutes at a time and keep your leg elevated. While Moov spray can provide temporary surface relief, it is very important to have this evaluated by a doctor or orthopedic specialist promptly, as you may need an imaging scan to check the extent of the tear. We will get this sorted out for you.
