Is There A Farcture If It Pains To Stand Up Or To Sit?

Hi, I ran into a pole that was sideways (Like this I-I, and i fell over the - part.)..I was sprinting and so i litterly flew over it. Both of my thighs are now pretty hurt, but I was able to stand and walk, but it hurts when I first start to sit down or stand up (using the thigh muslces), although there is no bruising, should I be worried about a fracture?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms doesn't seem to be related to a fracture.
You can do an xray for evaluation.
The symptoms are more related to a muscle issue.
Cramping can be due to prolonged sitting or leg position during sedentary activity.
Perhaps most commonly, cramps can be due to overuse of muscles that are not accustomed to exercise.
The second most common cause is dehydration.
So,I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen.
I also suggest using magnesium supplements.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
