track injury!
well here is the deal
i have a muscle spasm/pulled muscle on the top of my leg theigh (or however you spell it)
well to make it better i was told to go to theropy and rest it.
ive decided that im going to finish out track because there is only like 2 weeks left and i will rest it extra after that
well that goes against what the doctor says so my mom said she will no longer take me to the theropy
at school the trainer does basically everything they do at theropy but still i would rather go to theropy because it would be better for me
so what can i do to make my leg better and still run track (which if you say quit or take a break i can tell you right now i wont)
and i was given cruches at the hospital a few days ago should i still use those? i know working the muscle will only help be but i didnt know if i should use the cruches during the day till track is over
any ideas suggestions stretches whatever are welcome (except for telling me to stop running)

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
Okay, I won't tell you to stop running. I can't go against what a Dr told you, because he/she apparently examined you and would know best.
I agree with your Mom, if you are non compliant with the Dr's orders, you may as well not go to therapy because you are going to undo everything they have done to help you.
As far as advice I am just going to ask you a question to ask yourself. In 10 years which will have more of an impact on your life, sitting out of track for 2 wks, or walking with a limp forever?

Well i'm not going to tell you not to but i'm going to say its not the best thing. My mother works in the hospital and i am a ER voulenteer and an athelte and its not safe. It could lead to a bigger injury that can need surgery. If you run on your pulled muscle you can tear it or even tear a ligament which will NEED surgery. So as much as you want to run its best that you dont. I had to miss my soccer championships this year becuase of the same injury.
Hope this is a little help o and if you are going to run at least use the crutches and when you get home from school put ice on the spot for 10 min and then a hot pack for ten then strech do it about 3 times.(when you run ou will extreamly sore and wont run as good)
