10 Pulled Hamstring Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Unusual Lump
Muscles are basically a mass of fiber that knit tightly together. They work by contracting, which causes them to pull on tendons, and this then causes their associated body parts to move. They can become torn just like other fibers, though, and this damage can sometimes be visible from the surface.
Patients with a pulled hamstring will often experience a lump of muscle just above the tear. You will often find a depression in the muscle just below the lump. It is an indicator that the pull is quite severe and that the patient should find medical assistance as soon as possible.
