Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Leg After Streches

I am a cheerleader so I am flexible and do many different stretches and flexibility training daily, so today during a tryout I went into my right splits and heard three very loud pops and then very bad pain! I continued with my tryout which had several different jumps and kicks and with each I felt even more pain and now I am feeling constant pain on minimal movements. What could be going on?

Hi...

As per your narration you had injured your muscle...there could be snapping of muscle over the bone or could be a partial tear in the muscle..

Nothing to worry..

If I were you...
I would wait for a while and....

Apply lot if ice in the injured area... frequently for every 2 hours once for 15mins...
No stretching to the injured area for next 48 hours...
Don't load for next couple of days..
Support the injured area with compression bandage...
Once movements becomes pain-free then do strengthening exercises for gluteus and then slowly and progressively load the injured area...like moving your leg from out to inside...etc

Hope this is helpful for you...
Kindly revert back.in case you need any further help in this regard...
