Was hoping for a little bit of advice on a small injury.
Two weeks ago on Thurs I went out up town and the next day had a few mystery bruises and pains (no idea how... ha), but also felt like i'd pulled my hamstring a little bit. The pain is right at the back of the knee and hurts when the hamstring is flexed/stretched, occasionaly the pain spreads a little further up the back of my leg/hamstring.
Hit the gym on the Friday that next day and the following Mon/Wed/Fri of last week and as i'm following 5x5 I was squatting on all those sessions. There is no extra pain at all when training, just the normal bit when flexing the leg a certrain way etc, squatting / deadlifting causes no pain at all.
Was hoping that over the weekend just gone it would heal up but it hasn't gotten any better or worse. So I skipped squats and deadlifts yesterday to try and rest it up, but again feels no better or worse today (with the weekend its had 4 days with no training which is the longest rest since it occured so was hoping it would at least be starting to feel a little better).
Im really just after some advice on what you guys think the best way to heal this up would be? I don't really want to skip anymore squatting, and training hasn't been making it any worse at all, but nothing is making it any better either.
Do you all think it would be best to carry on training and see if it heals up or to let it rest by cutting out exercises which hit the hamstring? Not very experienced with dealing with injuries so i'm not sure the best way to go about it.
