Pulled a hamstring running on the treadmill this morning. I felt it pull! Oh the pain!!!!!!! The good thing is I can actually run now. Any other remedies besides ice, elevation and rest?

Time. Don't rush the healing, for fear of further injury. Good luck to you!

When I first started to "really" run (not at a leisure pace; opening my stride and trying to push my limits), I found myself constantly straining my hamstring. I learned to warm up first (at least 5 minutes with a fast paced walk or slow jog) and then to take the time to stretch my calves, quads, hams and--most importantly--your glutes. Your glutes are attached to those hams and you need well rounded stretching to avoid injury. I have not strained or pulled that muscle since! Look on the web for images/videos on stretches...especially for your gluteus!!! Hope you heal soon! ????
