I'm a sedentary desk jockey on my 4th week of Lower, Mid and upper body strength and all three stretch courses. Previously I spent a year moving through the Foundations course on and off, which helped me get past a variety of chronic injuries (mostly shoulder) that I'd been carefully cultivating over the past decade. I'm feeling great and making exciting progress, except for one lingering issue:
I have a what I believe to be a muscle pull in my gracilis or other long muscle on the inside of my upper leg. It could also be a tendon, not sure. Whereas all other things that I stretch move from tight to warm to flexible as I progress through the series, this on goes from tight to searing pain. I've been riding that edge and working on everything around it as much as possible with aggravating it. 4 weeks in now, however, it's not improving and I've even re-pulled it once about a week ago, which seems to have set me way back.
How would you recommend I approach dealing with such a damaged muscle/tendon?
Thanks in advance!
