Suggest Treatment For Torn Hamstring Muscle

The Dr said today that I need to discuss the results with him. His ad min said the MRI showed a torn hamstring. My question is what s next? I have alot of anxiety and hoping I don t need surgery. I can walk, walk stairs and function just not do alot of physical activity. I m 38 5 10 200lbs

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having torn meniscus. Treatment depends on MRI report. If it is partial then it requires rest for nearly two weeks and analgesic such as ibuprofen. If it is compPete then it will be better to go for surgical repair to gain full function. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.Take care.
