If a girl on the gymnastics team isn't flexible enough to prevent a hamstring injury, then I think the rest of us are fooked.
When I was younger, ok, many years ago, I was playing centerfield on our fast pitch sotball team. It was a rainy summer afternoon, a bit cooler than normal. I remember turning to chase a fly ball when I heard a snapping sound. I thought that I had broken a pencil. About a split second later I realized what had happened.
I applied some DMSO to the back of my leg, after cleaning it very thoroughly, and continued the process for about a week. The pull was no longer evident. Please understand I am not recommending DMSO, as it carries with it some inherent dangers (the skin must be aseptic---because any germ on the surface will likely get into your blood stream) and side effects (your breath and sweat will remind you of garlic).
However, you can go here: http://dmso.org/ to gather more info and decide for yourself.
I hear wrapping the affected muscle in bananna leaves and then soaking it in pig's urine works like a charm too.
I just found a whole new justification for my Jamaican Swine Scat sessions.
Well, if we're on the alternative therapy kick, when I played football we would use horse liniment (the stuff for racing horses) for any pulls/strains/etc. Then we'd wrap a brown paper bag around the applied area and let it do it's magic. Worked like a charm, it was some strong ass stuff.
My Dad uses the first two nightly. DMSO on the other hand led him to have the equivalent of second degree burns over prolonged use. Arthritis is nasty stuff that I hope I don't get.DMSO has been used as a horse linament.
Aside from the mega-vicodin/Yukon Jack cocktail, it, DMSO, has been the only consistent relief I get from Rheumatoid Arthritis.
