Pulled Muscle..Broken Leg???

Sat, 02-21-2009 - 12:23am

Last week my leg was hurting some, but not enough to worry me about it. Well Thursday of last week I went and to the hair salon and I used my walker, the rest of the time I'm in a wheel chair and I don't do very much walking at all. So after Thursday, my leg has been hurting really, really bad. Wednesday I went to the doc and it X-rayed and according to them its not broken and to make sure of that, in a few wks I go and have an MRI done. But it hurts and kinda has burning sensation. So I don't know if its a pulled muscle, which I'm hoping that's all that it is, but it hurts really, really bad when I get in and out of the van. Spending time in a spika isn't in my plans anytime soon.

I think its a pulled muscle and that nerve thing as well. Do you think Bengay will help?

I have never had any of those creams help when I have had a pulled muscle.

Bengay is a sports cream for those who muscles outta place. But I do like the sound of a hot bath! I wish I had a hot tub and that would work!

For now I'm just gonna take it easy, but it kinda feels like a pulled muscle.

Rita, it would be good to call the dr and ask him if he can prescribe you some nice pain killers and see what he thinks you should do also to alleviate the pain,,

I'm gonna do that. I sit down in the tub, but its right next, but I do need to bathe every now and then!! Spit baths are soooo not fun! I've been in a body before and that wasn't fun either! :
