Fastest way to repair hamstring injury (lemmy.world)

Hi, I hurt my left hamstring while running in the winter due to not warming up properly and likely not stretching the hamstring enough. It feels much better now, though, and I have tried running on occasion. However, running noticeably makes it feel sore, and if I were to keep running, I think I would injure it again, so I have assumed I should continue resting it. Is this true- is the best I can do now to take up another sport (biking has been fine), wait, and continue only when it does not feel sore after a trial run?

I haven't found another sport I enjoy as much as running, and I haven't seen a physical therapist for this yet because I really did not enjoy seeing one for a different issue in the past.

A new battery has fixed the issues. I found the battery pins were pushed in, which messed up the connection. I'm still not sure why the OEM charger does not work, but at least a 3rd party one does.

Nothing does feel loose to me, but I found the charging issue (w/o battery) is weird but consistent: the OEM charger stopped working, but a 3rd party one does work consistently. I'm not sure what to make of both the OEM charger and the battery breaking simultaneously given that the OEM charger was not involved in the laptop dropping, but perhaps the charging port shifted in a way imperceptible to me. Either way, I've ordered a new battery, and I'll try sticking with that and the 3rd party charger from now on. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the warning!

What I meant by that is the plastic piece sticking out on the motherboard side of the connection. I should have looked up a picture of the connection first to see that it's normally there; I don't know much about this and assumed it came off from the battery haha.

So if the motherboard side looks alright, then does replacing the battery seem like the right fix to you? It seems like there's a chance something else is wrong besides the battery, though, because I experienced the computer being somewhat finicky about charging even with the battery removed, but maybe it's nothing...

Hi, after dropping my thinkpad, the battery got slightly messed up. I have to move a battery pin to have it fit in the slot, the battery charging status is often not read by Linux, and sometimes power won't be received even without the battery. I'm hoping the solution would just be figuring out how to remove the pin stuck in the motherboard slot (attempts so far have evaded me) and getting a new battery, but what does it look like to you? Thanks!
