oh man ladies I am so nervous right now!!
So for the past two weeks I have been having this pain in my right leg in my thigh and hip area and it hasn't gone away and it has gotten worse (shotting pains/spasms). I looked it up online and I think I might have a hip flexor strain!!!!!!! I am terrified because this can become chronic. I'm going to see if I can go to my health center tomorrow. gah I hope it's not serious.

Ok sammy..this just happens to be my area of expertice. Seriously. I teach injury treatment to other massage therapists around the US.
ReplyDeleteFirst, don't freak out or worry. Strains are very normal for people who workout. Also you may have piched a nerve, that is usually when the shooting pains and spasms come in.
You can go to your doctor and get muscle relaxers and anti inflammatories. You need to rest the leg. I am sorry sammy this means no pure barre for a few days. If you can get a massage...this can make a big difference. The most important thing is to rest it.
oh gosh molly your awesome! haha I am so bummed! Now I don't know what to do exercise wise. It just made my life way more complicated :( Thank you so much for the advice! I will definitely see what I can do. The cold weather isn't helping either!
ReplyDeleteCold weather in California??? It has been nice on the WA Coast!! Good luck with the leg. Keep me posted.
ReplyDeleteyeah these past two days it's been rainy and cold and last week it was 101 outside haha Crazy California. I will definitely keep you posted. I have an appointment with a doctor on Friday so we shall see what happens. Until then I am going to ice it and heat it. Thanks again for the info!
