Heeeeelp :(

So I'm REALLY flexible. 1 or 2 months ago while I was stretching I did an arabesque, and it hurt the top of my thigh. I told my mom and she said that I probably ripped a muscle. Today I tried another arabesque and it still hurts, AND I lost all my flexibility. My mom says to just wait more BUT ITS BEEN 1 or 2 MONTHS ALREADY. Do any of you guys know why this is happening? I literally cannot lose my flexibility it means SO much to me. To me it's like losing an arm if I can't even do the splits anymore. Please help I just can't think of what I'm gonna do with my life if I can't even do the splits. That will ruin my skating career also. 5 years of skating all gone.

did you go to the doctors? sorry i dont have any other advice...i hope this thing does not stay!!

You should definitely get that checked out soon. Most minor injuries usually solve themselves but it seems more serious. If pain has been going on for that long I would see a doctor ASAP for your diagnosis. Good luck and feel better soon! P.S. Be sure to describe exactly what kind of pain you're feeling, wear it hurts, and how long it's been going on. Details are important so it can help the doctor figure it out quickly and help you towards recovery.

GO. TO. THE. DOCTOR.

This happened to my sister, Zoe. She ripped a part of her muscle while stretching.

Was it also at the top of her thigh? Also how long did it last?

No, it was somewhere along her back. She was attempting the human snake...

It lasted... idk... 2-3 months for the pain maybe, but she went to the hospital right away
