Pulled hamstring

[Xcaliber]

While playing a game of Ultimate last weekend, I think I ended up pulling my hamstring. I know it's looked down upon to self-diagnose with no medical background, but I'd say it's somewhere between a Grade I and Grade II pull, based on the descriptions here. I don't actually have to fly for another two weeks, so I don't think it'll be an issue, but it got me curious as to what the consequences are for flying. From a personal perspective, I don't think I'd have any issues flying a plane in my condition, but I'm wondering what the official thoughts are on the subject.

I will probably continue to play for a good long time, and I know the risk of having a medical-revoking injury is always there. I'm curious as to what types of common sport injuries could cause a person to be medically disqualified.

The benchmark is "can you safely operate the aircraft and handle any emergency that may occur?" If the answer is yes, you can fly, if no don't fly.

Thanks! I sprained an ankle, waited til it didn't hurt too much until flying. Good to know I was following the rules
