What Is The Treatment For Leg And Shoulder Pain?
Today I was doing a splits stretch. I was working on my leg that s not as flexible. I was pulling my leg out and around my shoulder and heard a popping sound. I immediately can t out the stretch. Now my leg is kinda sore in my left hamstring near my butt. Do you think I seriously injured myself and should see a doctor?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could probably be a muscle strain due to excessive stretch. Rest yourself, put ice on the affected area, do not walk, if it's hurting, take analgesics, oral or topical. Your pain may subside in about 3-4 days. Do not worry.
I hope I have answered your question. If you have further queries, I'm happy to help you.
