Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A persistent pain in hamstring after an injury seems to be due to torn muscle fibers in the area. Rest and icing along with use of an elastic bandage are needed for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
