    Did the splits by accident

    Ok guys, don't laugh.
    I stood up earlier on and my son had very kindly left his newspaper on the floor. I stood on it, I have wooden floors, and i went down like a ton of bricks into the splits. I haven't done the splits for about 15 years and believe me it was a shock to my groin.

    What I need to know is the best way to ease the pain. Heat pads? or freeze spray? Anyone know?

    My groin thanks you in advance

    I would apply ice pack first and try to keep the strained muscles in a stretched position, if possible. Heat too early might increase the pain but I think once the swelling has lessened, you might benefit from warmth. You will probably benefit from taking ibuprofen for pain control and rest as much as possible. I would also see a doctor as soon as possible for further advice.

    Get well soon xx

    LOL you're all heart aint ya Shiv?
    Thanks for the advice. It's eased slightly after a ton of ibuprofen.

    It's so embarrasing walking to the shop. I keep imagining people are staring at me and wondering what the hell I got up to last night.

    I'm sorry Rain but I can't help but laugh. I would go and get it checked out by the doctor in case you have damaged any ligaments,they may prescribe stronger ibrofen for you. Hope you feel better soon.
