i've torn and pulled. you'll know the difference by day 2. if it's a pull, ice it and it should be good in a few days.

Re: 15 hr later

well today the leg is feeling 10x better than it did yesterday. The tightness is gone. But were it was hurt its now just a little red almost hard to see, its about the size of a quarter and runs a little. Its a little warm and tender in the red area. What does it mean? Small tear? What kind of time should i look at for resting it?

You will be fine. I would give it a couple weeks and then go back slowly. You should be fine inside a month. It actually sounds like a myo-fascial tear to me. Its a bag that goes around the muscle and it will heal 100%.

THANK YOU

Quadsweep thank you for making feel better about the situation. I plan on taking 2weeks off then maybe some light stuff? I will see about that.

As far as my leg. Its the outside of the leg. Basically imagine where you inject in your quad. About 15 or so inches up from the side of the knee.... really weird place.

Im going to start a little heat followed by ice to help bring some blood in and rush it back out.

Ill let you guys know how it goes.

That's a really weird place to pull a muscle as it's much tougher than the inside of your thigh. Perhaps in future you will need to adjust your foot placement, i.e. slightly wider with toes flaired out at 45 degrees.

Good luck -- injuries suck ass.

No doubt

My foot placement on the leg press were feet about a foot apart and my feet werent angled. Straight... i usually put them pointed out a little. Go figure. Its 2 days later now and the redness is almost gone... i really have to stare to find it almost. Now were it hurt its the slightest dip. I could only see it when the light was right. I think it will be fine once it recieves enough rest. Anyone think a massage would help this.
