I pulled my quad muscles and I'm in pain.

Everyone,
Hi, it's Smoothiezach, and I have a problem. You see, I pulled my quad muscles a few days ago and now, I can hardly walk. Does anyone know what I should do or have any advice for me? Any and all advice is sincerely appreciated.
Have fun and stay naked,
Smoothiezach

Dude, I've pulled those large muscles while biking. Not fun. There is almost nothing you can do but rest it. Alternating ice and heat also helps. Oh and rest. Did I say rest?
:) you get the idea.
Good luck.

Steve-O,
Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to stay off of it and I'm also using IcyHot wraps and taking pain pills. I'll probably going to have to run to Wal-Mart again for more IcyHot wraps. It just sucks 'cuz I don't like being in pain.
Sincerely,
Smoothiezach

I hate it too.. I hate having to rest and being immobile even worse.

I suggest driving to Wal-Mart. Running will only exacerbate the problem. :)

A hot bath with epsom salts can cure a lot of what ails you. Also, advil and tylenol taken together (1 each) works better than either alone.


I just had a massage tonight, and I think she got muscles I strained in yoga the other day. Maybe a massage would help......at least you have a good excuse for a massage!

Heal well.
