Question 1

ia have severe muscle pain at my thighs after i did squats and other exercise what to do to relieve pain ??? shoud i rub it

Accepted Answer

Rest, ice for first: 24 hours, then gentle heat thereafter.  Otc NSAIDs will help.  You can get massage.  If it persists beyond a few days, you should see a doctor to make sure there is nothing serious going on.

Question 2

my knee injuried while squating i have scratching in cartilage .... i want another tight thigh muscles exercises ... bcuz i cant squating anymore :(?

Accepted Answer

Remember: Even after meniscal(cartilage) surgeries of the knee, patient often can resume squatting.  Not necessarily immediately and usually are warned to avoid "deep" squats where your needs go beyond 90 degrees.  You just may need to adapt your squats based on limitations to  your knee.  Why not review this with your orthopedic surgeon.

Question 3

squatting i heard a fabric ripping sound from both thighs. i can walk but can't do steps at all. no swelling or discoloration. tear, strain, stretch?

Accepted Answer

Tearing sound : Wounds like you strained something. From my experience tearing of muscles generally causes bruising swelling and pain with decreased range of motion.   I would try moist heat and very gentle stretching exercises along with acetaminophen or ibuprofen.  Good luck

Question 4

should i be worried about delayed onset of muscle soreness after doing squats? i am recovering from a fractured thigh.

Accepted Answer

If sure it is DOMS: I.E. Onset of pain in first 24 hrs, then getting better, prob no need for concern but know youre stressing the muscles & respect that (allow 48-72hrs recovery). Consider ice immed after w/o.. I can't medically explain why it helps but had good luck w a supplement called sportlegs for doms. If pain  gets worse please call your doc. Also make sure to warm up, cool down & strengthen both quads & hams.

Question 5

i do horseback riding and squats. i get pain in my thighs down into my legs, my shoulders, arms, neck, and lower back. how can i ease muscle soreness?

Accepted Answer

Soreness: Horseback riding does take a lot of muscular energy.  In general, hydration and good stretching before and after exercise will help limit spasm and aches &amp; pains.  There are many topical treatments that can help also, most are OTC.  Find the one that works best for you.

Question 6

should i continue high bar squatting with neck muscle strain?

Accepted Answer

If it hurts stop: In general, anytime you have pain, that is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong. Part of working out is allowing your body a chance to recover from the workout. If you try to work through the pain, you can cause serious injury to your body.

Question 7

good day

i have been having pain for 3 weeks now. the pain is on my left leg above the knee and below the waist.

it gets painful at night alot. i started having the pain after doing weighted squats. i used some muscle relaxers i got from dischem?

Accepted Answer

Muscle sprain/strain: That would take time to heal, you need to rest your leg as much as you can, no more squats, heavy lifting, etc.. use NSAIDS unless contraindicated,read the labels carefully and don't exceed recommended dosage, warm compresses would help too, if no improvement see your doctor for assessment and treatment plan, good luck

Question 8

how to help ligament strains on the cervical spine get repaired. happened while i was lifiting it has been 21 days of no lifting only leg workout that too free squats. how do i assess my injury at home?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Regular exercise will help by strengthening your muscles. If you still have pain or limitation of movement, it would be prudent to see a doctor. 
Wish you good health!

Question 9

my legs hurt after doing squats, lunges and hip bridges. all parts of my leg muscles hurt when walking. how can i cure this?

Accepted Answer

Normal : This is normal after heavy exercise, and will be better in a couple days if you don do heavy exercise. Eventually, it will hurt less and less as your body becomes used to the exercise. Hope this helps!

Question 10

Thigh pain: Consider hip dysplasia, sciatica, muscle strain, tight quads, tight hams, tight hip flexors, spinal spondylolisthesis--get exam and xrays of hips and spine.
