What Causes Pain In Leg And Mid Calf After Falling Down?

so, i am a gymnast, and earlier today i was doing the splits with my right leg up on a 8 inch mat. i was stretching when i felt and heard a pop in the joint connecting my leg and hip, at the same time i fell about 5 inches down into the splits, now the back of my leg, mid calf, up to the top of my thigh is really sore, i can still walk without much pain, but any type of stretching makes me collapse in pain. my leg is also a bit weaker.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
It could be due to soft tissue injury.
Get an xray done to rule out any bony injury. Meanwhile you can take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation.
Hope this helps you.
Warm regards
