Sorry to hear this Freeper. I actuallt tore my quad 10 years ago playing left field in a softball game. Went down like someone shot me. Never been the same and have an indention to this day on my quad. Like 2300 said, ice and heat. Get better my friend and enjoy the battlefields. I want a report when you return.
Bob and Brad are physical therapists on youtube that put out quite a bit of videos. They are pretty knowledgeable, experienced and kind of funny as well. They are my "go to" for some the injuries I get. There is no quick fix, unfortunately. Here is a general video, but you can search others that can pinpoint something closer to what and where your injury is.
Look at this as a teaching moment------ to yourself.
I don’t know what those are but neither sounds good. Taking a second day off. Pain is manageable now although it hurts like hell when I first stand up. More ice today. The bruising seems a little larger but the swelling has gone down a bit.
Had football players get either hit hard in the thighs/hip or pulled a hammy. A Spurs doctor once told me that using a whirlpool, later in the healing process, would help prevent the site of bleeding/clot from solidifying and not cause the muscle to tear, worse, at that point of injury. Athletes healed ok, so it worked for us.
