Pulled a hip flexor!! WTF

I cant believe this.. I start training with a new partner. Then this crap happens. Its even tough walking? I talked to my buddy who is a Physical therapist and he told me it will be like this for a few days and to take some motrin. I hate these little crappy injuries.

Make sure you get ice on it right away. 20 minutes at time. If you use a bag of frozen corn it will mold well to the area. No stretching for the first 48 hours because this can cause eccentric tares. After that stretch slowly. If pain starts to develop back off slightly on your stretch. If you notice any discoloration at all continue ice as frequent as possible. Also take 800mg of advil every 8 hours with food.

good luck
