Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain While Walking After Stretching Exercises?
I was streching and when i was done i decided to do the splits and heard two loud pops come from my lower butt/groin area. Now I am in horrible pain and can t walk. I know it s not a broken bone, but its still scaring me. Is it a pulled muscle/ tendon?
What I feel is this should be called as a piriformis muscle spasm. As in stretching the muscle get stretched and lengthened and post which it take some time to regain it's position.
Try having more breaks between exercise and modify the exercises if needed which don't give trouble. Also use firm clothing which do not restrict the muscles to perform actions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
