While being pulled out of water while waterskiing, felt major pop/tear of my right hamstring...had to be carried out of water and 24 hours later still cannot stand let alone walk if my thigh is not wrapped...when wrapped fairly tight I can manage to get around with significant limp...is this normal for tear?
Yes, if you truly have a tear it can take weeks, if not months, to heal. You might even need some kind of splint for a prolonged time for proper healing. I strongly recommend you see an orthopedic specialist. You can get the correct diagnosis and start the appropriate treatment for your best recovery. Hope this helps.
