Well first you have to figure out what type of hamstring you have. Grade 1,2 or 3.
Grade 1:
-Might have tightness in the thigh.
-May be able to walk properly.
-Probably won't have much swelling.
-Lying on front and trying to bend the knee against resistance probably won't produce much pain.
Grade 2:
-Probably cannot walk properly.
-May get occasional sudden twinges of pain during activity.
-May notice swelling.
-Pressing in causes pain.
-Bending the knee against resistance causes pain.
-Might be unable to fully straighten the knee.
Grade 3-
-Unable to walk properly without the aid of crutches.
-In severe pain.
-Bad swelling appear immediately.
-A static contraction will be painful and might produce a bulge in the muscle.
-Expect to be out of competition for 3 to twelve weeks or more.
After you figure out which one you have here is how to heal it:
Grade 1:
-Use a compression bandage or heat retainer until you feel no pain.
-See a sports injury professional who can advise on rehabilitation and strengthening.
Grade 2-
-Ice, compress, elevate, use crutches for 3 to 5 days.
-See a sports injury specialist who can advise on rehabilitation.
Grade 3:
-Seek medical attention immediately!!!
-R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate.) Use crutches.
-See a sports injury professional who can advise on rehabilitation and prevention.
Dont't put a lot of strain on it and make sure you ice it frequently. You might also resort to crutches to avoid the constant pressure of walking. Refrain from doing any sports or activities that will further hurt your hamstring. Don't take place in any activities until you are fully healed because even worse damage could occur! Hope this helps!

Well, it depends how bad you have pulled it. But I remember when I pulled my hamstring, I could run through it, but it did hurt. And the more you run through it, the worse it will get. Hamstrings take a long time to heal, so I would recomend not to. You should sit down and let it rest and not put alot of pressure on it to get the quickest results.
