Nellie Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi, looking for advice. I completed my 30 min workout on Monday week1,day1. I rested Tuesday, intended doing day 2 weds but the top back part of my right leg has been extremely painful that I wasent able to do day2. I could hardly sleep last night for the pain. Hope I don't have to give up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mea Mia Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Sounds like you might have pulled your hamstrings. I would say alternate putting heat and ice on it, and flush out all the bad stuff. Take some ibuprofen too. If you're in that much pain, I wouldn't run on it, you're body tells you that you're in pain for a reason, and you don't want to cause further injury. When you think you're ready, then start back up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks Mea Mia, I'm just not sure if I've warmed up or cooled down properly. I've followed the appt, 5 min brisk walking then 5 min walking cool down at the end, but is this enough or have I been just unfortunate?

Mea Mia Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Always stretch after your workout. That's an important step to never skip. And only stretch warm muscles, never before a workout when you're muscles are cool and you're more likely to do damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
