WAG Pulled muscle and where to go for help

[Livelovegymnastics]

Hi everyone, I hope this doesn't qualify as seeking for medical advice so lmk. So basically yesterday I was doing my leap pass and all of a sudden my leg/butt area start to hurt really bad. I take it easy the rest of practice, mostly doing bars. I'm pretty sure I pulled a muscle and it still hurts pretty bad today. I have been icing it and resting all day. There is even some pain while walking. So my question is should I go see a doctor or just keep resting it at home? Or should I see some sort of another type of medical care? Thanks

You should see your primary care doctor; they will most likely either recommend rest and possibly some sort of meds, or they may refer you to a specialist.

If it's bad enough that you can't walk normally or do other typical day-to-day things, and you can't get an appointment with your doc soon, it might be worth going to urgent care.

If you have some sort of a hamstring injury... then you need to be careful doing bars. Kip casting can stretch this area aggressively and can injure it worse... or make it take longer to get better.

I would go see a doctor.

You need to see a care provider
