Suggest Treatment For Painful Legs And Groin Pain After An Injury

about 8 days ago I had gone outside to warm up and stretch before going out to walk -- I was on a deck (wood) and wen t to do a side stretcha nd the leg I was leaning toward slipped out from under me. I am almost 50 and have never done any full split in my life -- well it was about a full split. In the beginning I walked it off -- but felt pain down my legs -- not too much in groin - but almost immediately there was pain -- like a pull in my low back all the way across top of buttocks. now that pain has subsided with rolling on a tennis ball and ice and advil -- now pain and discomfort are mostly in left glutes and down left side of left leg. Currently rolling on a tennis ball two times a day and ice - or heat a couple times of day --- thanks for advice

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required in severe cases.

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