Surgery: If the leg muscles and ligaments are obviously strained, the pain is severe or cannot be relieved by conservative treatment, surgery should be considered. When running leg strain, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify the degree of strain and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
