So I pulled my thigh muscle this evening playing football and it is killing me.

I put ice on it as soon as I got in but it is obviously still sore. I have to stand a lot in my job which isn't ideal.

However, what I'm more annoyed about is the thought of no gym this week.

Is there anything I can do which will avoid the use of my thighs?

I like my cardio and weights. Will rowing put it under stress or do I need to stop completely for a few days?

Also any tips to help with the healing process?


Thanks

BFM

    Take Motrin and do your best to enjoy a short break from working out. If you do too much or jump back in too soon you could end up with a serious issue that requires months of no exercise. A little bit of time off now could save you a lot of time off later.
