Suggest Remedy For Persistent Pain Caused By Hamstring Injury
Question: I have a torn hamstring severe pain for a month limited mobility I am sixty eight years old. Can constant pain cause fatigue?
Brief Answer:
Can be due to pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Constant severe pain increases the calorie expenditure and can cause a feeling of constant fatigue.
It is best to have a protein rich diet and a multivitamin and mutimineral supplement regularly. Do increase your electrolyte rich fluid intake and get your vitamin D3 levels evaluated to rule out any other causes of fatigue.
Getting an MRI scan done will help in assessment of the extent of injury and will help in planning about the further treatment needed.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Treatment depends on the extent of tear.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The surgical repair depends on the extent of tear that will be determined after an MRI scan. Physical therapy is not done at the time of acute pain. It is started only after the pain subsides.
