Suggest Treatment For Tenderness And Pain In My Inner Left Thigh

This will sound dumb but I slipped and fell into a splits motion and felt a pop and EXTREME pain in my left inner thigh. No bruising. But tenderness, and pain. Inside my leg, and just to the right of behind my knee. I am competitive CrossFit athlete and coach. I am very mobile and highly active. Is there anything anyone could suggest I do to aid recovery?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Though primary care will be in terms of conservative measures as described below, an X-ray of the knee joint with or without MRI is best recommended to maintain athlete activity in future with equal efficacy. My guidelines for current relief:
- Local application of ice pack or heating pad
- Analgesic tablet as diclofenac or ibuprofen if no history of drug sensitivity
- Local spray application with camphor, linseed oil
- Postural adaptations to avoid sudden bending, strenuous exercises

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
