I have a 5cm tear in my hamstring.i am doing exercises and i got off crutches a few days ago.i'm not allowed on my crutches but it takes away the pain?

Hamstring tear: I would discuss this problem with your doctor again. You may have to stay on crutches till the pain subsides. You certainly do not want to be limping on the leg without the crutches
