I was doing my splits on the beam and as i got into my splits i heard a pop and fell strain to the ground i felt pain on my butt area and it hurt to sit down stand up i couldn t even walk, i try to do handstand and i cant even do that simple skill! its been 5 days now and it still hurts but not as bad i cant do a handstand still all i can do is walk. What did i do pull something? how long should i expect to feel the pain? what should i do?
Hi there. You could have developed muscle spasm or stretching of the ligaments. I advise you to avoid exercising for a while. Give rest to the area. Apply hot water bottle to the painful area. It will take you at least 4-6 weeks for the relief to be expected. You can consult your Orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis and management.
