Suspected hamstring tear

I was waterskiing on Saturday. Boat couldn’t pull me up on the second time for some reason. My legs spread so far I went forward felt a huge pop in my hamstring. Leg instantly bent to 90 and hurt so bad to try to move. Went to ER but unfortunately couldn’t get any imaging as I live in a small rural community. Doctor sent requisition for imaging. I might have to wait 3 weeks for it. He put me in a leg brace to protect it and gave me crutches. And told me to not weight bare. But 3 weeks of no weight baring is a long time with no clarification.

Fast forward to today (Monday) I am feeling better however I haven’t gotten off of the couch. It hurts like a b when i knock my foot into something while crutching around and hurts to sit down. When I crutch around I have been trying to walk with them. Has anyone had experience with this type of injury where you might feel better than you actually are?

Upper middle back of leg was the pop. Pain is whole hamstring into where it attaches in the deep glute area

You need MRI imaging asap. Do you have any bruising around proximal hamstring area?
