I Feel Pain In The Hip Area After Doing Split In The Gym

Hello! This morning I was doing a split on the barre at the gym and heard 2 loud pops come from what sounded to be my right hip. It hurt pretty bad but I could walk on it just fine. It has been about 7 hours and I can still feel pain in the hip/butt area on the right side, and I can sometimes feel it in my hamstring area when I walk. I am limping a little bit, and it hurts to sit down/stand up as well. It isn t shooting pain but pretty dull and deep. What should I do?! Thanks!!

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
you probably had a pulled hamstring and adductors (straddle injury)
apart from the injury to hip ligaments(overpull)

within the first 24hrs on injury you can use ice on it
and celecoxib 400mg once a day to decrease the swelling , pain and the overall recovery time.

beyond 24hrs it should already be warm compress

total recovery time for a pulled muscle and ligament is 21 days so dont be surprised if the symptoms last even up to the 3rd week.
though recovery faster than that can still happen on a case to case basis.

forget about nerve injury or complete fracture bec your symptoms are very far from it.
you wont even be able to walk if you broke a bone in your hip i assure you.
