Help!! struggling with an injury and I feel so hopeless and frustrated!!!!
I assume it's one of those 2 highlighted muscles. I had taken a couch nap, woke up and could barely walk for like 4 days. rested from all working out. started back working out and walking. now it's just randomly bothering me if I move my leg wrong internally or externally. when I go to turn in bed, that inner thigh muscle hurts(I use pillow between legs but still doesn't help that pain when turning). I workout and stretch. maybe I don't stretch enough? I AM SO FRUSTRATED. no money for PT anymore either so I figured I'd ask you guys

The most appropriate answer would be to get checked out by your primary care or physical therapy, but if finances are a deciding factor, that's not very helpful.
Just remember that injuries take time to heal, and rest and relaxation may be the best answer for now. Give your body a chance to heal up before starting your normal routine.
Once you decide it is the right time to get back at it, return SLOWLY, at half or even less than your normal pace / intensity / duration / distance. The recovery process is long and it's easy to re-injure. Listen to your body and don't overdue it.

Recovery takes time!
If the pain level is not high, start stretching regularly. 15 minutes each time should be enough. When you restart training again, maybe start with bodyweight exercises only and see how they make you feel before you switch to lifting iron.

Few months ago I had some similar pain in the inner thighs while doing a leg press. The pain was predominantly during any squat pattern moves. Done some PT but didnt help much so I had to avoid those movements while working out for a couple of month till the pain has gone, and took it easy from there and now am back in the game. Maybe you could use ice to reduce the inflammation.

I pulled my lat. wouldnt heal. Borrowed a Scenar sport D device from friend. Im back in the gym nearly totally healed. It actually helps heal

sounds like freeze up from no use. try to streach them out a little. try body weight deep knee bend to get blood flow going. do this every day 5 sets for at least a week

In a bizarre twist of fate I’ve done this injury tonight kicking a soccer ball. I’ll be able to speak from experience on recovery later! Annoyingly its leg day tomorrow and I’ve no idea yet really how badly it’s injured and whether I can work around with quad/hamstring isolation exercises.

Good luck!
