I did a left split without stretching and something snapped in the back of my left thigh. There was an imeadiate pain but I was able to walk for an hour or so. I went to dance practice and I was fine when I was lunging but it hurt when I kicked my leg above my head or did any leaps. Whenever my leg was bent there wasn t any pain, but when my leg was outstretched straight it hurt from the length of my knee to right under my bottom. I would like to know what I did and how I can heal it in the fastest possible way, thank you so much!
