i was at trying out for soccer practise and we did laps for 15 mins and racing agianst ppl (n thats when i felt the soreness on my thighs).

i usually do lunges but i didnt do it tht day.

the next day the back of my legs and thighs, and front thighs were hurting so much i could hardly walk right.

a couple days later (now) its not as sore but I was running and it was so painful it felt like ripping n burning. but it only happens when i run or use my thighs.

i know i should have stretched, thts why i started to but i didnt know this would happen.

what can i do to get rid of the soreness n pain?

  1. Oh man so sorry. I would suggest stretching, after a brief warm up, but if it feels like a ripping and burning, I would go see your doc and maybe ask to be referred to a physical therapist to see if they can help you with a specific exercise/therapy to help you out. Do you normally do sprints/running on a regular basis? I know if you don't warm up right, potential injury could happen. Also, take a hot bath and soak in it with Epson Salt (big container at a drug store-supposed to relieve pain/soreness), afterwards, use some IcyHot on your legs, it smells, but works with soreness. Still, I would recommend you go see a doc though. Good luck. Soccer is the best sport! Hope you made the team.


  2. I actually had a problem with my quad too, and it kind of sounds like how I felt but I'm not completely certain. As a precaution, I would also talk to the trainer as soon as you can. I ran on it for a little over a week until I realized it wasn't just sore and it was actually painful. I went to go see the trainer and he said it was a result of over training. When you run or do a exercise that puts impact on your quad muscle, some of the muscle rips. That's natural. It repairs overnight and as a result gets stronger. However when you over train, you don't give enough recovery time for the muscle to repair itself. Therefore, it gets worse and worse rather than stronger.

    If this is the problem and it's only been a week or so, the trainer told me that it's fine to continue to run/exercise. Just make sure to warm up well and stretch. After, ice the hurt area for about 20 minutes.

    I would do this until you have a chance to see the trainer, which you should try to do as soon as you can.
