I pulled my Hamstring two years ago and was out for around 8 months. I believe I pulled or strained it again but now its my other hamstring. I have been out of activities for about a month or so. Im guessing its a grade 2 injury. This time its not as serious though but I still have pain and cant play sports. I still have a little pain, when I sit on a regular chair normally, I can feel the pain behind my knee and sometimes a light pull near my butt at times but not all the time. I can walk, but when I work a work shift it starts to hurt after 5 hours or so. I been trying to stretch it and it goes fine. But I have some questions to help me through this terrible situation as soon as possible! Soccer season starts in a week and I need to get into shape and wanna play. The last time i hurt this I came back too soon and thats why i was out so long. I dont want to do that again, so here are some questions i can think about now

1) Should I stretch it EVERYDAY, how often should i stretch it?
When its a little sore or in pain, should i avoid stretches and let it sit?

2) When can I start lifting to make it stronger? (I remember the rehab i had two years ago for the same injury , that he started having me lift and make it stronger when i still had a little pain and I second guesses his decision but in the end he was right and i became healthy) So when should I start lifting to make it stronger?

3) When can i start doing some rehad running?

Thanks you so much!
