I only just pulled my hip flexor and the stretches aren't helping...what else can i do to heal it swiftly?

I know with an injury close to this you're supposed to rest it but i can't rest TOO much because i still have to run to draw from in shape for fall over sports.

I can't really ice it because when it hurts, it hurts contained by at least 3 different spots from my hip to my knees at the same time.

My dad (who be a sports medicine doctor, in a minute radiologist) gave me some stretches but none of them gain the spot where it if truth be told hurts.

What else can i do?

Answers:

can you take affliction killers and antibiotic medicine at the same time?

Swimming! Swimming can do wonders! It's a great source of exercise. It may lend a hand loosen any tightening in the muscles. Just a suggestion. Feel better, respectfully, Laura.

What is the worst accident youv'e ever have?

you have NO choice but to rest it especially if the stretches aren't helping. taking 4-5 days past its sell-by date from your normal flurry is NOT going to hinder your progress for topple sports. if anything you should be WANTING to take the time to treat this properly so it doesn't keep you on the bench come activity time.

Horrible pain!?!?!?

FYI, INJURIES OF THIS SORT TAKE AWHILE TO HEAL. YOUR DAD IS CORRECT. HE ISN'T GOING TO GIVE YOU EXERCISES TO STRETCH THE INJURED PART AND MAKE IT WORSE.LISTEN TO HIM.
