Question: Hi, while playing an intense set of tennis last night on the somewhat slippery clay, I ran forward to a drop shot and took a lunging step for it with my left foot forward. My foot slid forward causing me to do almost the splits. I am a male and flexible, but I instantly felt a pop and knew I had to compensate for what I knew was at least a strain. I collapsed into a squat afraid to get up and to stay stretching my back and glute. When I finally XXXXXXX to a standing position it felt weak and could barely walk. It subsided and I could walk off the court and then take a cab home. I have cold and hot compresses and iced it last night and this morning. It feels much better relatively speaking but it hurts to walk, and I noticed that a stretch forward hurts and a slight twisting of the leg outward hurts. The pain radiates from what I think are my adductors in the back of my left leg, under my groin on the left side, and then down the inside of my left thigh a few inches. Hurts when touched or massaged like an overworked muscle. No bruising and little to no swelling that I can tell. I am wondering if this is a long term injury or something that could be a week or so.
