torn Hamstring....
, well, I did it now.,., Tore my hamstring today trying to pull my leg over my trailer... My shorts I had on grabbed onto my jack and pulled my leg down as I was trying to climb over, My leg snapped back so hard I heard my hamstring tear.... the pain came on so fast, I barely got my tailgate down befor I started blacking out from the pain.,,I laid in the back of my blazer for at least a half hour before my eyes could begivero focus enough to make it back into the house so I could lie down',,I almost thought I was going to have to call 911 there for a moment ,,,,, I grunted myway bAck to bed and thought to myself,,, self,,,, Sure didn't take much to change my mind about wether or not to further my quest to go fishing today ,,,,,,,I guess some things are for a reason,,,, Hoping my leg will feel better by next week maybe to catch some thumpage while the bites still on,,,anyway,,m, Beware of low lying trailer hitches and jacks!

ICe, Ice and more ice. and dont forget the muscle relaxant, I prefer Old Bushmills but there are other varieties that depending on your personal preference may work better.
Good luck and remember to stretch a bit before embarking..

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Could have been worse could have been a groin muscle

Sorry to hear that. The ability to remain mobile is a gift we all take for granted while youngsters but not so as we age. Speedy recovery!

My wife slipped on a boat launch 2 years ago and tore her hamstring off the bone in her hip. She had to have surgery, she was laid up in a special leg sling and recliner for 8 weeks before doc would allow her to move her leg. I hope yours isn't that bad

Hope for a speedy recovery!

I feel your pain. I live in Millington just down the road from you. I'm retired so I have plenty of time. If you need anything send me a PM. I will be glad to help.

Old my arse,,,,, I went fishing today at Sardis,,, Onky problem was launching boat really, 3 ft rollers coming into back of boat where I put in,,,, The Ty who held my boat let it go into the rocks and He chipped the hell out of the bottom gel coat,,,, I am sick,,, I have about 4 or 5 sized chips now on bottom,,, Boat was perfect before that.... next time I'll learn to put in elsewhere,,,can't really blame the guy who asked to help,,, I was stupid enough to put the boat in there,,, I got around pretty good considering my leg hurt badly walking up ramp after fishing all day,,,, Ended up with 4 nice slabs though from Sardis,,,, all the fish I found where around trees near Piney point,,,11 ft deep...at least I have supra this time out,,,, Anybody know how to gel coat? Thanks for your prayers guys,,, Just glad it's not as torn as I thought when I first did it,,,,
