If you fell a burning feeling where your hamstring is and it becomes tense have you injured it?

Strong liklihood you've irritated it and may have pulled it. I'm voying that you pulled it -- level II. You can always call a doc, for this. If you want to try treating it at home, ice-pack for 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off for an hour. Then rest a while and restart the cold therapy. Mild painkilles are okay if it hurts, and the antiinflamatory effects of somethign like aspirin or Ibuprofin would help. The next step is immobilization. Where most atheletes make a mistake is over-excercising the damaged hamstring before its healed. When it's injured, it's a lot more susceptible to further injury.

How do you treat acetaminophen toxicity?

One view:

Gastric lavage is the only treatment for overdose cases of acetaminophen (paracetamol).

Note: Overdose of this drug can damage your liver.


Another View:

You cannot treat this at home. If you have confirmed that you have acetaminophen toxicity, you need to get to an emergency room immediately, within 72 hours.

Otherwise, if you have overdosed on acetaminophen, your liver may completely fail, and you could lose your life.

At the hospital, they will treat you with a drug called N Acetyl-Cysteine, or NAC, that quickly raises your glutathione levels. Glutathione is a potent detoxifier, and will remove toxic metabolites from your liver left behind by the acetaminophen, thereby protecting your liver from complete failure and certain death.
