About 2 months ago I felt a twinge in my hamstring. It would hurt every once in a while but nothing real serious. I took it easy for a few days and rested it a little but I was not to worried. Fast forward to Saturday morning, I am playing basketball when my hammy starts to hurt. I go out of the game and it wasnt to bad when I went home. About 3 hours later the pain became almost unbearable and it has not subsided since. I can barely walk, I have constant pain in my hamstring no matter what I am doing. Even sitting down hurts it. I have been taking anti-inflammatorys but they are really not helping, I have tried Ice, Icy-hot, ibuprofen and everything else, nothing seems to be helping.

I have never felt pain like this, and now my calf is starting to hurt because I have been limping and putting extra strain on it.

Any suggestions?
