Question:
I pulled a muscle in my leg probably three weeks ago. When I initially did it, it was just stiff, but now the pain is unbearable. People have told me because it's healing is the reason it hurts so badly. It is the worse in the morning after I have laid in bed. I wake up crying and can barely walk. I have severe muscle spasms and shooting pains down my leg. After I get it moving, the pain decreases enough for me to bare it and get through the day. Any suggestions on what to do to make the healing process better? Is it true as it heals it hurts worse? I have iced it, elevated it and taken pain medication. Why does it hurt so badly in the morning or if I'm mobile for a period of time?
Answers:
you got to do some physical therapy out stretch it out .alternating ice and heat.I ripped my hamstring and it took 6 months to heal.it can be a season ending injury for football players.the most important thing is get that leg moving and stretching try to stay off of it all the time.it will take longer to heal.see your Dr and get a referral to a PT clinic.good luck
Try bio-freeze. Buy it at the drug store. Or at your physical therapists office.
I'm sorry you are suffering so much. Have you been to an ortho or sports medicine doc? It is possible you might need it repaired. Some muscle/tendon injuries require intervention (i.e., surgery).
