Inside of left leg on the adductor I have
a null pain at the moment.
It started with the muscle twinging whilst
walking (this is after a weekend of
football) on monday on the way to work 3
weeks ago. It didnt hurt but was
obviously irratable. I treated with ice
every night for 20minutes and in the
mornings. I spent about 20minutes of my
day walking to the train station.
I wanted to know if I could play football
on the saturday (6 days after initial
injury) as it really did feel fine.
I booked in for physio as the football
season is underway and wanted quick
treatment. After 5 days waiting for my
first treatment the leg felt absolutely
fine except for a slight discomfort when
the area was prodded, but there was no
effort in walking.
The physio went straight at the muscle
with intense force with the thumbs on the
muscle (i assume she was breaking this
muscle down) but it felt almost over the
top, I have a high pain threshold but this
was to the point I was gripping onto the
bed in absolute agony/ like large iron
rods trying to peirce through my leg. She
said it will be a few days till the pain
subsides and will be replaced with
bruising.
Weekend goes by in agony (in agony) and
monday she re-treats my leg with massages/
laser treatment/ ultra sound. I cancel my
wednesday appointment after she told me to
book another 4 more, then by the end of
the session she thinks only 2 saying it
doesnt look as bad as she thought.
Its now the 3rd week, I have not been
back. I have started mild training as she
explained to start by swimming/ jogging/
stretching.
(i can feel my other muscles beginning to
weaken - hamstring/ quads - due to been
out of training) am I in need of giving my
leg a full stretching out with a run, it
feels over rested, like it wants to be
stretched and put through its paces.
The help I am in need of is -
is this pain normal for the training
period?
Should I be feeling sensitive in the area
still after walking a distance?
Do you think this physio has done my leg
damage? There was no pain before after
only a few days? Now three weeks.
Shall I try 20minutes on the pitch this
saturday?
I will be hugely grateful for any help and
I will keep you up to date with how this
resolves.
