Okay, so everytime I play football, after an hour, sometimes even shorter, my left quadricep really ****ing kills, like a sharp pain, and when I kick it again it hurts like ****. Basically as soon as I feel it, I know I gotta stop. Anyone get this and know whats the best way to help? I've searched on google and that, but would like someone who's had it first hand preferably. Thanks!
I pulled my quads before while sprinting. I didn't go to the doctor and it healed on it's own. But it took about 3-4 weeks before the pain completely subsided. Safest bet is to go see the doc in case its anything severe that requires surgery.
Thanks lads, if it doesn't go after a while and keeps occuring I'll go see the doctor, safest bet. :good
Hmmm, yea, take care of it...don't want to turn into another version of Michael Owen. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RICE_(medicine) And some drugs (aspirin, advil, etc.) So that probably also means no football for a while.
Safest bet is to go see a doctor, not carry on and hope it goes away. You may just make whatever it is worse.
Go to a sports physio, not a doctor- doctors know a little about everything, but almost nothing about sports injuries.
