How to tell if i have a pulled hamstring or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tenderness : Tenderness to the back of your leg between your hip and knee is a good sensitive test to help diagnosis a hamstring strain. Second, bend your knee against resistence to activate your hamstring muscle. If this produces pain it helps varify the injury. Other problems will also cause pain in this area.
