advice please?
Recently during a game, I think i pulled a muscle in my thigh area or something because it hurts! It's kind of hard to walk on my left leg and when i press against my upper thigh, it really hurts. I'm not even sure if i pulled something or if it's something else. But anyway, I have a really important game coming up this work, so i'm wondering if anyone has any ideas how to lessen the pain or make it better or anything.
thanks, i rate high for helpful advice!

This has happened to me before. When I pulled a muscle in my ankle, the nurse told me to put ice on it a few times a day. So still keep exercising; no matter how much it hurts. Because if you have a pulled muscle and you do not exercise, your muscle tightens, causing easier breakage the next time you exercise. But frequent exercising can help loosen the muscle, plus putting ice on it can ease the muscle as well. Do this for about a week, whether the pain goes away or not, because you may still have a pulled muscle and not know it. So keep up with the ice and a lot of exercising and it should get better soon. Also, taking pain relievers like Ibuprofen can also temporarily relieve the pain!

Another thing I learned in gym in 6th grade, hehe, was R.I.C.E -- Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.
Here's a site if you wanna learn more about taking care of a pulled muscle, it also explains R.I.C.E in deeper detail --
