How Can severe Leg Pain Be Treated?

I was attempting front splits with my left leg forward (I do this at least twice a week) when I heard a pop and my left leg immediately jerked back in pain. It is sore where I felt the pop, right between my legs on the left side. The pain has worsened as the day has gone on. I have put a heating pad in between my legs to ease the pain. What should I do?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello!

I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a strained muscle. Coming to this point, I recommend taking Ibuprofen three times daily and have some rest. If your situation does not improve, I would recommend consulting with an orthopedic doctor for a physical exam.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
