I tore a leg muscle while working in 1991 and it was so bad and hurt so much that I would have to crawl upstairs. I could not walk on that leg at all! The doctor x rayed my leg because he thought I could have a blood clot which is of course dangerous!
For about 6 months I had to sit or lie down until it healed on it's own. I hope you can find something to help it heal, I didn't.
But please don't mess with this torn muscle as the leg muscle can tear even more.
It takes time for the tear to heal. What did help me was wrapping the leg with an athletic wrap.
But don't wrap too tightly.
