If you have a stress response syndrome, you may be at a higher risk for suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors. If you are concerned about your safety, call emergency services. You may also dial a suicide hotline or phone a friend or family member to talk to and help you. Take any suicidal thoughts or behaviors seriously. For more information, check out How to Recognize the Warning Signs of Suicide. If you suspect that you have a stress response syndrome, avoid using any substances. You may be at a higher risk for substance use or abuse. When dealing with stress, using drugs, alcohol, and other mind-altering substances is not a healthy way to cope. When experiencing severe stress, stay away from all substances, as they can cause more damage in the long-run. Avoid taking pills or painkillers if they are not prescribed to you at this time. Stress response syndrome can prolong any existing medical problems or disorders. It can also interfere with medical treatment. If you have a health condition, make sure you receive adequate treatment and keep up with medications, visits to your medical provider, and any necessary care you may need. This can help ensure that your illness is not prolonged. If the stress response syndrome does not decrease, a therapist or psychologist may evaluate you for another disorder. For example, if your symptoms persist, your therapist may assess you for major depressive disorder, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, or another diagnosis that best suits your symptoms. Having a proper diagnosis aids treatment and guides the path of recovery. For instance, if you develop nightmares related to the stressor or experience flashbacks, you may receive treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.

Summary: Watch out for suicidal thoughts. Avoid using substances. Receive appropriate medical treatment as necessary. Recognize persistent problems.

At this point, instead of icing the injury, you can apply a hot pack for 3 minutes, then a cold pack for 1 minute. Repeat this six times, for a total of 24 minutes. Perform this treatment twice a day until your leg is recovered enough to jog for five minutes without pain. Be aware that this treatment is not completely understood, and some doctors prefer to switch entirely to hot treatments. In general, cold treatment reduces blood flow, while heat increases it. Increased blood flow encourages healing but also increases swelling, so heat should not be used while the injury is still painful and significantly swollen. Cautiously begin using one or both of the following stretches, but stop or reduce the amount of stretching immediately if you feel pain at any point. The goal is to slightly stretch the injured area, not to increase your flexibility, so keep these stretches lighter than they normally would be. To begin with, hold each stretch for no more than 10 seconds, relax, then repeat for a set of three to six stretches, depending on your comfort. Do this several times per day. Place your foot on a low table or a chair, and stretch forward from the hip into a comfortable, relaxed position with a gentle stretch at the back of your leg. Lie on your back and lift your leg vertically, or as high as is comfortable. Gently pull back on your thigh with your hands, with your knee slightly bent. If you can stretch without pain, begin additional exercises to get your muscles back to full strength. Ideally, you should consult a doctor to learn which exercises will focus on your injured muscle with minimal risk of damage. If you do not have access to a doctor, try the following once every one to two days, but stop immediately if you experience pain: Lie on your back and bring your knee up to a slight angle. Contract your thigh muscle with about 50% of its maximum force, hold for thirty seconds, then relax and repeat several times. If still pain-free, repeat with your knee at a narrower angle, bringing your foot back up toward your hip. Sit on a wheeled chair or stool and place both heels on the floor, flexing your hamstrings to pull yourself forward. After a few days of this, try using just the heel of the injured leg. After this stage is done, you should be able to jog for a few minutes without pain, and have an almost normal range of movement. A slight pulled hamstring can get through this stage in one to ten days, while a more significant injury can last two to three weeks. An injury that involves a massive tear and severe pain can take many weeks to heal, or may even require surgery.

Summary: Switch to hot/cold treatment. Begin gentle stretching exercises. Perform muscle strengthening exercises. Continue once you've almost reached normal function.
