How long. should i wait before returning to work after a torn hamstring injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varible: Highly variable depending on the location of the tear (proximal/ midsubstance / distal), the degree of the tear (partial / complete), the mass of the hamstring involved (it is made up of 3 muscles) and finally what type work you are trying to return to (sedentary / active). Unless highly strenuous job few days off with use of crutches/ thigh sleeve/ physiotherpy. Sports longer. Doc to help guide.

For about the past week or two I've had intermittent pain in my left calf. It happens while sitting for long times for work and persists for an hour or so after getting up. The last two days it is more constant. No injuries and my right leg is fine.
