Why Does It Hurt In My Thigh While Splitting?
I did the splits in dance class warm up on the leg i can do best and heard i cracking tearing almost popping sound in the back of my thigh and it hurt badly. Almost like cramp. But now almost a month later I cannot do splits without it hurting me badly after and it hurts to stretch. Does anyone know what I've done or how to treat it?

Hi,
It is hamstring (muscle on the back of thigh) tendon injury (strain). You need to get it evaluated from an MRI. Also need to avoid any movement that causes pain. Again application of hot packs will help you. Kinesiology taping from a physiotherapist will be good.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks,
