Having Noticed Sharp Pain & Cracks On Legs While Doing Splits

I was doing the splits on top of my friends couches that are across from eachother about 4 feet apart and my right leg cracked 3 times right below my right buttcheek. Sharp pain and numbness now going down my right leg. Did I pull something or could it be serious?

Hello,

What I understand from the history that this could be related to a muscle pull or nerve pull. You need to get it checked with the orthopedist and take some x-ray if you have damaged the hip joint.

Having taken an extra precaution is better rather leaving the injury just idle.

Hope you will take this matter to the orthopedist at the earliest for the better outcome of the treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
