I pulled my Quad

[Stakerz]

how long do they take to recover from?

 

[Cooldude]

Depends on how serious it is, best to see a doctor. Although normally it's a couple of weeks

 

[Stakerz]

I don't think it's a bad one.

I can feel it when I walk and I don't really want to go to the doctors.

Last season, first game of the cricket season i pulled my quad. Thought i ripped it apart.

Was stuffed all week. went and saw a chinese acupuncturist ( i admit i was sceptical ) on the Thursday night. Played that week, no signs of the injury.

Best $50 i could have spent.

haha....
I did mine on saturday, when did you do yours....

i might go to the physio, doctors or maybe an acupucturist...


i don't think mine is too serious....

I think you'd be better off asking a physio or a doctor, rather than bunch of people on the internet whose only exercise is trips to the fridge.

pulling your quad is for pussies, i lacerated 2 of my quadricep muscles completely and i am left with a massive lump halfway up my quad. Admittingly now i cannot play footy and after an afternoons cricket on Saturday, Sunday and Monday are not pleasant. Good luck with your little strain, lucky bugger!

haha yeah sorry I only pulled my quad.

Quad strains can also be a warning sign for doing a hamstring, better get out and do those stretches

Looks like someone wants a medal and a tissue.

Grow up.

Looks like some people can't take a joke, this thread is a light hearted one! I guess it takes brains to understand context.

You can tear or strain your quad. If you've torn it you're pretty f****d for a while, so don't plan on getting much running in.

I'd be hoping you've only strained it, if you can still jog on it then it's only a mild strain, but they can be bitches as well. Strained my quad kicking a soccer ball around on a hockey ground (supergrass stuff) back in June this year when I was doing recruit training. Stopped running for about 5 minutes then it felt alright and so the PTIs told me to get the f88k back on the ground and I blew it out again.

I tried to manage it for about 5 days after that, continuing to do sport and jogging at work but then it got to the stage where I couldn't run at all and struggled to climb up any stairs. Went to the medics and got a chit it got so bad. Took me probably 3 months to get over it properly, when I ran I would always pull up real sore in the quad and I didn't chance myself with many sprints.

Like groins they require rest, a strain will go away after a little while, push it and tear something, goodbye 6-8 weeks of your season

i thought stretching after you've you've pulled/strained/torn makes the injury worse....

 

[Stakerz]

Thanks acuguy, If he doesn't like the thread he should get out.

Well i'm playing indoor footy tonight!

You can stretch it, I got told that by some fitness dude named FadeAway

TeamMo what is your name? My brother said just then that a guy in his cricket team did his quad as well, maybe that's you?

 

[Stakerz]
