Anyone have any cures for this pain?

Question: whenever i pull my leg back real fast there's a sharp pain in my thigh...
it hurt so bad i cried...
anyone have any idea what it is?

Answers:
You may have pulled a muscle.

Rule #1. DON'T EVER pull your leg back so fast it hurts.

Rule #2. Do stretches. Get a doggie leash, put the loop around your foot, and while laying on your stomach, pull the leash so that you're pulling your foot towards your butt, be GENTLE though, if it's a pulled muscle overdoing it will make it worse.
Do the same thing lying on your back, but keep your leg straight.
Just a COMFORTABLE stretch.

Rule #3. Get some ibuprofin, take 2 now, and one or two (depends how bad it hurts) every 4-6 hours. Get a hot pack and put some heat on it, if that doesn't work, wait a bit, and try a cold pack (ice in a siploc, inside a towl is just fine).

This is EXACTLY what my physical therapist told me.
try a nice warm bath, and take it easy for a few days.

As ALWAYS, if it gets a lot worse, or doesn't go away in a few days with the proper home treatment, call your doctor!
:-D
Good luck!
