It was all going so well..

Well, it looks like I'll be out of action for a while, this morning I only went and slipped followed by doing my first ever unintended version of the splits...... followed instantly by a horrible painful popping sound and a nauseous feeling = torn hamstring! I'm currently lying in bed with cushions under my knee for the foreseeable! Has anyone had experience of a torn hamstring and how long I'm likely to be laid up?

good luck with your recovery Andy these things are so easily done and tends to happens in a split second take things easy and let us all know when your on the mend

Oh no , commiserations Andy, so sorry to read this, make the most of your bed rest to plan for later, have you seen a Dr? Ibuprofen is good to reduce pain & inflammation if you are able to take it & can be taken with paracetamol if you are in lots of pain, don’t be brave & take the pain relief & you will relax & heal quicker.

That's rotten for you, Andy!

You'll be up in time for the Spring though, so plan ahead now, while you have the time!
