my QB has a slight hamstring pull...
he is my entire Offense and team
he said its not too bad, but hes the toughest kid ive coached, nothing will keep him out of the game, but our O is largely based on his ability to run and roll out.
He's resting, icing, and taking ibuprofen.
Any of you guys have anything you do to get your pulled muscle guys ready to play on gameday? Kick off is less than 30 hours away

Don't be stupid. If he's injured, he's injured.
If he's just sore, ice the hamstring before the game and then wrap it. It'll help.

Don't be stupid. If he's injured, he's injured. quote] I tend to agree with this. You may have to bite the bullet in this one game to have a chance for the rest of the season. |

It wouldnt keep a normal kid from missing a game let alone a tough kid. He practiced yesterday its just a little stuff and he just says its a little annoying. Its a very mild strain or pull. Im planning on having it wrapped, and making sure he stays very warm at all times in the game tomorrow. |

Acupuncture?
But I gotta second Brophy, shouldn't there be a medical professional who's making the decision here?
I'm more inclined to rest and get fully healthy than risk further issues or nagging problems, etc.

Get Professional Medical Advice. Anything else is just Bro Science and endangering the Player and therefore the prospects of your Season.
You cant really 100% judge the Pain Threshold of the kid, nor the tenacity at which he competes. Better be safe than sorry.

Is this a league game that affects your playoff chances? Kids will say they are fine all the time. I agree let the trainer give you his advice

Our trainer would be the last guy I would ask!

DMSO is illegal....

DMSO is not illegal, it is a wood by-product that can be bought, saying it is safe for medical purposes is unlawful. I never said it was safe to use on humans. www.ihealthtree.com/dmso.html |

That is what I meant.....
The actual use of DSMO for medical purposes is illegal. It is used on race horses for rapid muscle and joint recovery.
I talked to our trainer about it this summer after hearing about some people using it and she likened it to a steriod.
While it is not classified as a steriod, she mentioned that in legal terms it is falls under the same category.

That is not 100% true but I know what you are trying to say. I would never tell a kid to use something off label or anything else. I am not a doctor and don't play one on TV.

not for nothing - but I would bookmark this discussion for reference the next time another "coaches need to teach ethics/morals" pops up where people are jumping on their soapboxes

hamstrings are funny, you would have to rest him and have him get lots a treatment.

I said in the 80s we used it Brophy, not that I would ever use it on a kid or reccomend it to a kid. I figure anyone in the coaching business ought to know there is no way to speed up a hammy!

He meant more the OP than the DMSO, if I'm reading him correctly.
