Quadricep pull, Help me with your advice?
1) I pulled (my thigh muscle) exactly 24 hours ago kickin a soccer ball,I felt a popping then I iced it immediately and took anti-inflammatories.
2) Initially it hurt to touch the bruised area but now i can massage it after icing with minimal to no discomfort.
3) I can voluntary bend my leg inwards with no pain, but cannot extend it outwards on its own, because it feels like i get an instant cramp on the spot i pulled the muscle and it hurts.
4) I can squat and stand with no pain (maybe because im not using that muscle)
5) After icing i’ve been taping it up with those elastic bandages like the ace ones.
6)I’ve been consuming plenty of proteins such as milk and dairy. Will it help speed up recovery, and what other food can take to help.
a) Is this a mild, moderate or severe tear/sprain.
b) What else can I do apart from R.I.C.E to speed up recovery
c) Any other USEFUL information that can help would be appreciated.
At first glance you are doing the right things, however, to answer your questions in order, a.This is a moderate strain, not sprain. You cannot sprain a muscle group, you sprain ligaments.
b.Do the R part of RICE, REST….. Since this is a pretty good strain it may take a while.
c.keep doing what you re doing…. just give it time, remind yourself that it has only been 24 hours since initial injury.. Don’t try to rush it!
