What Is The Treatment For Leg Injury?

I injured my leg doing my oversplits and I heard a loud pop. I am really worried because I have shows soon and I can't get my leg above a ninety degree angle without it hurting badly. I did this yesterday and stretched lightly today noticing I haven't lost my flexibility when stretching with a bent leg, but when pulling my leg into a split on a straight leg the pain is awful. What should I do? I have heard so many stores of dancers hurting something and then taking a rest and losing a large amount of their flexibility.

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion i suggest you ice it for the first 48 hrs and after excersizes with massage and topical gel adminstration , NSAIDs like advil ,muscle relaxants ans some relaxation will be effective for you i also recommend longer warming up time before your excersize will be helpful for dancers .i dont think you will lose any kind of flexibility if followed the instructions and try not to overuse your joints and give them time to heel .

Please click THANK YOU and consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Hope the above information helps you,
