Owned by the Bottom Shelf of the Fridge.

About 6 months ago I was going to the gym everyday for 2-3 hours at a time. I spent 45 mins. to an hour working on the hip abducter each time.

During finals week I was walking across campus and I had really intense pain in my upper thigh region, but I figured I'd just walk it off. The pain lasted for about 3 days and I just assumed that I had overworked the muscles. Everything was great.

Until 2 months ago, where I had the same problems but more severe. I went to the sport's doctors, took x-rays, a CT scan, and found out that I had a severe double groin pull. Essentially, I'm told that all they can offer is physical therapy and maybe I'll be good in 6 months.

I go to 6 sessions of physical therapy as directed and the rest they said I could do at home. Again, everything was going great.

Today, I was pulling out a tray of kabobs from the bottom shelf of the fridge and I just had to sit on the floor in the fetal position until the pain had subsided. I'm fairly certain that I've pulled both again. :sad:

Jeebus, that sucks. For pain management try acupuncture, I know it sounds stupid for a pulled muscle but it can really help.

[Bee :]]

Get some Vicoden! That'll kill that pain in a jiffy.

vicodin is good shit but a temp fix ....about a year ago i was going to the gym and running about 5-6 miles a day on an elliptical i was losing about 20-30 lbs a month but after 3 months my back started hurting i found out i had 2 compressed disks in my spine from overworking them ...6 months later i was back in the gym but im still reconditioning with only 1-3 miles a day...when it comes to working out slow is better... i took a steady Tylenol regiment for the pain and lots of icyhot.

Thanks for the advise so far.

I haven't tried acupuncture yet, but I'm willing to give it a try. I had been on tylenol 3 and anti-inflammatories, to find out that I was allergic to asprin. Thankfully, my best friend and my brother are going to take turns driving for me because I'll be on pain killers and crutches for at least the next month. And my anime convention plans in August are cancelled.

Really it wasn't so much the pain that bothered me, because it depends on movement and pressure, but rather the fact that I reinjured myself and probably worse than the initial injury.

Sure, hip conductor, I believe you. Double groin pull.

I can't give any advice that will really help you, but I will say always make sure to stretch before and after working out/exercising, reduces pulls/sore muscles, in my experience.

Lol.






And according to the doc, you shouldn't rack up an hour on that exercise. As a matter of fact, trying to explain the injury to the doc was lol.

...And apparently kabobs too

[Looking forward]

:rotflmao: I guess we're no match for the planning skillz of men.

I suppose the real question is who's controlling who?
