### input:
Earlier today I was moping my kitchen floor and then my left leg slipped on the wet floor causing me to do a violent split, the pain is so bad that I couldn t put weight on my left leg. I had to roll over onto my stomach and pull my self up to the sink. The pain was/is burning in my left buttock check and in my left part of my entire thigh, I also hit my shoulder on the fall going down. I need a cane to walk I cant put weight on my left leg. I rested in bed all day and its so uncomfortable. Can you tear muscels from being stretch like I was when I slipped and what can I do for the discomfort? Thank you

Hi Thanks for your query and Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. First we have to be sure that there is no bony injury to the affected part, if that is sure then we can talk about management of your soft tissue injury, otherwise X-rays can rule it out. There definitely can be a muscular strain because there can be eccentric stretching of the muscles in the process of falling suddenly on the ground. Initially the management should be :- Intensive ice packs for local application 3-4 times in a day (10-15 minutes every time)- You can use an analgesic spray for local application after ice fomentation- Anti-inflammatory medication like Tab Ibuprofen or Paracetamol can be used two times in a day initially and then on SOS basis-Rest to the affected part in the form of activity modification, if using a cane helps you, then it is ok to use it for few days to avoid putting too much weight on the affected extremityElevation of limb and compression with crêpe bandage can also be done in case of swelling. But if your symptoms like pain, swelling increase despite these measures, then I will advise you to consult your local Orthopedic surgeon and get required X-rays done please because sometimes hairline displaced crack fractures may be missed. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation. Thanks & Regards
