Katharina Huemer Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hey guys!As I posted some days ago I just got my press handstand.2 days ago in the evening I felt a discomfort in my groin region when I came home from school. I already felt that kind of pain sometimes when I did Round-Offs and Cartwheels, but this time it was a little worse.I think I pulled my hip flexor! It is a sharp pain when I try to lift my leg towards my chest, cartwheels also hurt but straddle supports are worst! They give me a stabbing pain like hell The strange thing is - L-sits are fine!There is no bruising or swelling, but if I touch my groin at one liitle point it aggreviates this stabbing pain. Walking and running is fine.I am so frustrated now, I could cry all day!Has anyone an idea what it could be?Can I train L-Sits and leg raises if they don't hurt?I know, no one can give a medical advice here and I will go and see a doctor asap. I just hope that someone can give some advice, tips or experience here, cuz I am really frustrated that I might not be able to train my press handstand or hip-flexor for some weeks or months and will lose all of my hard work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David McManamon Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I never learned to lift or move my legs correctly until I started taking ballet classes. Without proper training and technique it is very easy to over engage your hip flexors and they become very tight. Hope your recovery is speedy, I recommend complementing your current training with a beginning ballet class, learning to move in a balletic fashion will help your moves look more graceful, effortless and most importantly safe.
