Oh my, injuring yourself while you were trying to get more limber, oh joy.
Well, it's been 10 days since injury and 9 days visiting the Doctor.Here is what I've been doing and from my estimation, My leg is 60 to 65% improved. Yay!
* Resting with leg elevated (at every opportunity)
* Icing for 20 minutes at a time (when opportune)
* Wearing a compression bandage (as tight as you can without cutting off circulation)
I injured a certain group of muscles HOWEVER ALL of the adjoining muscles became inflamed and tender as well. I manipulated those muscles after a few days ie my calf, shin area and quads.
Yesterday, I had bruises on the back of my upper leg, that is telling me I am healing OR my muscle is completely torn (according to the Doctor) but since I feel so much better, I believe I am on the road to recovery.
Really simple things to suggest. Rest, ice and compress the area.
If these idea do not mitigate the situation, it might be more serious than a stretched or a partial tear of a muscle.
Here is hoping you heal quickly and do not re injure the area!
