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
