Question: hi, im at the beach and and was boogieboarding when i caught a wave wrong and was scorpioned by the wave behind me and the boogie board underneath me. Not sure what the type of bend is called outside of “scorpioning” but qhatever the case, while i dont think my feet came all the way to the back of my head, i did bend in that direction and now i have a mean cramp right above my right hip bone. Feels like maybe a muslce thing but not sure? Any thoughts?

Brief Answer:
Probably a muscle strain, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms seem to be related to a muscle strain due to the wrong bending.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications to relieve the cramp such as Ibuprofen.
I also suggest using magnesium supplements for muscle relaxation.
Warm compresses and warm shower can also be helpful.
The symptoms will probably relieve in a few days, so don't worry.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards!
