Today during warm ups, we were doing some dynamic stretches do the sides, and I accidentally made one out of controle and it went too far. I felt a jab of pain in my leg and was unable to perform any kicks properly afterwards. I can do the kicks, but not very high and not with any power. I don't feel anything during normal walking, only when stretching the leg (dynamic or static) I was thinking that maybe I tore a part of my hamstring or something. Any ideas?
As a nurse, it sounds as if you've pulled a tendon. Use RICE Rest Ice Compression Elevation No kicking X 2 weeks - take an anti-inflammatory (like Tylenol) 3x/day with food. And post to the forum every day.
I got a doctors opinion, I sprained the mid section of my hamstrings. Very mild and I should be back to my kicking in about a week or two. He said I could continue training at my current intensity level as soon as the pain stopped.
