Suggest Treatment For The Injury Caused B Stretching

I m a dancer and of course I always stretch before hand to prevent injuries. My muscles were warm and stretchy and I went into a left split and I heard something pop and just gross noises and now the back of my leg, right under my butt especially and than down hurts badly. I can t stretch it because it causes too much pain. I ve been able to do splits on both legs but I guess this time when I went down, the angle I was at, ripped or popped something? It feels like something more than just my hamstring like a joint or something? I had taken Advil and am icing it but what does it sound like I injured, and what sort of treatment should I do? Thanks

I recommend you to visit a specialist a take a thorough examination. reading your history I could find out that you are a dancer and perfrom regular stretches. what you need is to understand that your joints may have more laxity than a normal human being. apparently you may have either landed into a stress fracture? which is just a probability and may not be true. you need to even understand that the back plays a key role as well to perform your stretches. kindly check yourself with a close by specialist. and you haven't mentioned about the nature of the pain or type of pain. take proper rest and physician prescribed medication.
