I may be out of shape, but my body is pretty good at telling me when there is a need to see the doctor( bones out of their joint, or sticking thru the skin). I have a friend who is a VP of a local hospital. He specializes in sports injuries. I asked his advice on the original hamstring injury, and he said RICE (which I was doing) and that it would take 4 to 6 weeks--I should figure 6+ weeks because of my age. I didn't want to bother him on the second injury, but it "felt" like soft tissue stuff.
As a matter of fact, it feels far better today than yesterday. Still no running, and I will limit the activity and allow it to rest and heal for the weekend.
The playoffs start next week!
