<s>[INST] Hello. I think I may have torn/pulled/strained either my glute, hamstring, or adductor. After an intense Zumba workout (so very,very warm) I did a side split. I have been working on getting further into it, stubbornly determined I will do it again, like I could when I was young (I am about to turn 43). Anyway, I pushed down almost to the floor when I heard and felt a double pop in the left, front facing leg/butt region. It is high at the base of my butt cheek. Feels like maybe where the ham attaches to the anterior of the pelvis???? Anyway, iced it when I got home and slept on it. This morning, I can walk, with a slight compensation, but can not sit on that side. Very sore on the underside, and a little in the "mid cheek" to left side. It is also kind of pulling around the front so there is some soreness/pain in the hip flexor. I am very active. Will I have to curtail all activity, or just stay away from stretching? How long might this take to heal? Do I need to be seen by a doc? [/INST] I understand your description. First you need to decrease your exercise activity. Second you should apply topical cream of antiinflammatory and analgesics for 10 days. You maynot need doctor if you start in the previous treatment and prophylaxis. </s>
