hamstring injury
i'm a dancer and was stretching one evening while doing the stretch on your back with one leg on ground and the other going towards your head. while doing the stretch i must have pulled it cause there was like 3 "popping" noises. i did this injury in the beginning of january and my hamstring still hurts. it was a lot worse before to the point where i couldn't get my leg 90 degrees but now its getting better. but i still can't do my right split cause there's still a pain in it. it's more right under the buttcheek. i asked my mom to take me to a doctor for it but she refuses. i tried icing and heating all these months but it still isn't better. it's not like i can rest it completely either cause i have dance 2-3 days a week for 4 hours. i stretch it gently but nothing works. any advice? :\

uhhhh yeah any kind of "popping" nose is not normal and should be taken seriously.
i don't think resting or icing will do anything. it might take the pain away a little, but it for sure won't solve the problem and make the injury go away.
The only way to get rid of the injury is to go to the doctor and see what exactly is wrong. You can't fix something if you don't know what the problem is.
If your mom won't take you to the doctor, find someone who will. honestly, I dont see what the big deal is. If she's not comfortable with doctors, ask to go to a chiropractor or kinesiologist.
Do you have an athletic trainer in your school that you could go to? or how about a school nurse? maybe ask other people like your dad, siblings, other family, neighbors etc.
if all fails.. just get sick with the flu or something haha and that way your mom will have to take you to the doctor.
Oh and in case you didn't already know.. if you're a minor (under 18) your mother has to take good care of you, meaning she has to take you to the doctor if you're ill, otherwise its child neglection and child services could find out and your mom would get in big trouble.

Honestly you're going to probably have to do exactly what you don't want to do and that is COMPLETE rest for awhile. You definately need to get it checked out because there are so many things that could be going on but injuries especially those involving the legs and back are incrediably hard to recover fully from. You have to rest it completely for a good length of time or it's never going to get better. The you'll have to rehab it for awhile to build the strength back up. But, you are young and your body should come back from this if you will allow it.
Why won't your mother take you to see a doctor. You are hurt and in pain and it's affecting your life, your happiness, and your progression.
