Tear I think

AxelHeyst · 11-15-2007, 04:35 AM

About 9 months ago I was attempting to pick up a ceral box on the ground with my mouth, did the splits, and pulled something in the back of my leg. I felt and heard something tear. At first I thought it was my hamstring, but I can touch my toes without pain. The injury seems to be located somewhere near where the hamstrings attach underneath the glutes.

Touching my toes doesn't hurt, curling my legs (in a strict movement) doesn't hurt. Narrow-stance squats or deads don't hurt. If I attempt any moderately-wide stance movement, especially sumo deads, I can get a couple inches of movement before the pain stops me.

I don't notice it during any normal daily activities--like I said, pretty much just any wide-stance athletic movement.

I kind of thought this would go away, but it isn't. Does anybody have an idea of what this is and/or how to treat it?

Must've torn the vag....

Oh wait, this is a serious question- carry on.

Wow, brother - I'm speechless. Classic post. Sorry about your injury though - sounds like you might have torn your groin muscle at the insertion, possibly the tendon.

^^^Watch out bro or you may get the infamous Maraxus slam quote! LOL

As Whitey said it sounds to me like you pulled your inner groin. I have done this before and it only affected me when I squated wide. But it really hurt when pulling deads.

How did you end up in the splits while getting cereal? Water on the tile floor or something?

LMFAO....sorry, but WTF!....why the hell were u doing that in the first place? :haha:

AxelHeyst · 11-16-2007, 06:25 AM

hmm...groin, hadn't thought of that.

sigh...i knew i was gonna have to explain this. ok, it was a social game. A group of people stand in a circle and you put an empty cereal box on the ground. You gotta pick it up with your mouth without touching the ground with your hands. Each round you tear a little more off so the box gets shorter and shorter and it's harder and harder to get your mouth down there. I'd had a few drinks so I didn't pay as much attention to my body's warning signs as I should have. I know I'm a raving idiot, no need to remind me.

Any ideas on how to speed up the healing process?

Syatic nerve is what it sounds like...........just guessing really. I'm not a doctor, I only play one on a soap opera.

Probably isn't a muscle. When a muscle tears there's almost immediate bruising. Although if it is your groin how often are you looking at your grundle?

A tendon maybe?
