Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
It seems that pain you are having is due to recurrent muscle sprains. It is common in people who don't warm up and stretch properly before moving their muscles.
Doing too much,too soon and too fast creates problem.
Repeated injuries cause formation of scar tissue and subsequently complete healing doesn't take place .
Other factors are
Poor fitness levels and lack of regular exercises
Poor nutrition and obesity
Treatment is done by
Rest
Icing of the affected muscles.
If pain,take Stretching of muscles by pulling both legs towards chest with hands below knees
Prevention
Take enough calcium,VIT D and B complex vitamins
Do stretching for 15 minutes before you play your basketball
Use proper shoes
Strengthening your muscles with proper physiotherapy.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

ice doesnt seem to help, heat has helped a little i have pulled muscles before and this doesnt feel like that. when the pain comes and i try to move leg i feel a pop in that area. but i could be sitting all day and the pain comes on sudden with no exercise being done and then it goes away on its own 10 /15 minutes later without doing anything to help it.
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If the pain is persistent and starts even while sitting comfortably then the cause needs to be investigated.
It could be a muscle cyst or a scar tissue in the area. Investigations like MRI will help in proper diagnosis.
