Thigh strain recovery (plz help)

[mbaker1991]

Hi,

About 6 weeks ago I strained my thigh playing badminton. I believe it is a 'grade 2' thigh strain. It still isn't better because I re injured it a couple of times, but have now given it a complete 3 weeks total rest since last time I hurt it.
It still isn't quite better and I still feel a stinging pain in it occasionally after walking far or in the evenings.

A couple of questions:

1. I want to start training and get my fitness up again. I am thinking of doing some skipping with a thigh compression bandage on, do you think this would be safe? How about cycling?
I don't want to hurt myself again.

2. How long do you think it will be until it is better again? Is there anything I can do to speed up recovery? I have been doing 2 sets of 25 squats each night to rehab it a bit but that's it really.

Many, many thanks.
Matt

who diagnosed you of this. What treatment have you had to date?

If you have had this chequered history with aggravating the injury you really should be getting a physio who has fully assessed your problem, to support you through the rehab period and not relying on opinions over the internet.

A program that is tailored to your needs would be best. I couldn;t comment on the training effect of the 2 sets of 25 squats. - taht sounds quite a low intensity but I don't know your problem
