Suggest Medications For Pain After A Muscle Stretch
Five weeks ago a massage therapist stretched me at the end of the session with three very strong stretches by pulling by my heels/ankles. Within an hour it was extremely difficult to walk, put weight on my left leg and experienced increasing pain in the knee.
As you may have now something called as a muscle pull. Pain will be intense and you need to first stabilize the joint and muscle under a splint or a cast and take a proper clinical assessment and may be an MRI if required.
Post which, with slow and gentle rehabilitation of the muscular system by a physical therapy should regain the functions back.
Understanding that you may have a muscle tear and needs thorough assessment and proper clinical measures to allow the healing. As any injury taken care lightly now leads to future troubles.
