Grrr!
I hate admiting I'm hurt, and I managed to hurt myself worse by not admiting it and pushing myself instead of resting. *Roll Eyes*
So, last Saturday I pulled my left Quad. I ran on it Tuesday, and it hurt all day Wednesday, so like a less-than-briliant person I ran on it Thursday, and it REALLY hurt all day Friday, so instead of running with the group I went for an easy, short walk on Saturday, and will do the same instad of running tonight/Tuesday.
What has me concerned is that it still hurts as bad as it does, because I know a lot of tricks to help sports injuries feel better and heal sooner (minus the part where it takes me forever to aknowlege the injury in the first place), including various massage and stretching techniques, combinations of OTC drugs and rubs and creams, taping bandaging and bracing, and I even have access to a small personal ultrasound unit. Any/all of which has helped to varying degrees, but I'm not back to running yet... *sigh* There's no way around the simplest healing method in the book - stay the heck off it and just give it time!
