hello
sorry about your hamstring injury
i would recommend you to take rest and anti inflammatory medication
Lower grade strains can easily become worse if the hamstring is not rested properly. Grade one hamstrings should be rested from sporting activity for approximately 3 weeks
wishing you quick recovery
