Question - Torn muscle fibers

by Diane Hughes
(Monrovia MD)

I pulled something in back of my leg near the bend in my knee. There is no swelling or bruising. It hurts to put my full weight on it. Could it be torn muscle fiber?

it could be the hamstrings or the upper portion of the calf. Get in to see your doctor to figure out what is going on if you can't put weight on it.
