    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.

    Thanks to Vicky for my great new banner xxx
