While jogging I hurt my thigh muscle. It´s been a year and sometimes it just hurts too much when Í go from a sitting to a standing position. Is there something I can do to help it heal?

Torn?  Ooohh...probably not... i'd say stick with a doctor for something that serious...he/she can tell you what you should do to speed up recovery.

sometimes i have the same problem, but it happens in both legs, what you have to do is keep you legs relaxed and DONT stretch because that can bring it on, when you do get it try keeping your legs in the same position, it will eventually go away, but if you move you legs the pain will get worse.

try doing squat excersises like standing up on the floor, bending your knees just far enough to reach the ground with your hands next to your feet and then go down another 3 inches and hold it for a minute... do this many times and for longer and longer periods. You can also try doing that same thing but instead of holding it jump up as far as you can and then as soon as you hit the ground jump again and agin for about 25 in a row. To better improve jumping power and your kick, jog bringing your knees as far up to your chest as you can , or do that jogging in place. One final excersise is more extreme and will produce amazing results, put your back against a wall and go down with your knees at 90 degrees. pretend your sitting in a chair. try to go as long as you can and push yourself past the pain limit...dont hurt yourself now :)    . Those exercises will greatly improve your Quadriceps (front of your thigh/leg area muscle) which are a must for kicking and jumping.

I used to have the same problem while I ran cross country. I went from running 2 mile races to 5 mile work outs to prepare for state championship. It took me a while to finally master it but, as long as you run two miles a day without stopping it will get easier and easier. Every day run a little bit more. Then, try speed walking for the next two miles for a "cool down". If this fails, doutful, than try jogging 4 miles VERY SLOWLY--- go at your own pace. Don't get fustrated if it hurts and takes a while. That is natural. Best wishes!

Yes, and it hurts like hell! Just alternate heat and ice every 20 minutes, and it will help a lot. I did this by powerwalking. It takes a while to heal. My doctor put me in a walking boot so I could continue to walk. Just be patient!

First of all I am not an M.D., however I have had the go from Surgeons  who just needed for me to dive in and find the problem through deep tissue work. \nI can give you some suggestions on what can be causing the problem. Obviously you have blood flow to your feet, and since they are still attached to your body, it is not Phantom pain.\n\nThink about the restriction of blood-flow to the area, from the pressure of your upper body, on all of your nerves that are being compressed while you are spending many hours sitting.\n\nI hope you have all of your needs met.\n If not, you need to be your own detective. Are you sitting on a Gel Cushion? Do you move your legs off of the foot pads, and change their position often. Do you move from Wheel-chair to your bed several times a day, and have your legs elevated?  Re-positioning is really important. I have done deep tissue on old, very old injuries where the circumference of one leg was smaller that the other. The nerves grow, I kept working on the smaller leg each day, and with the growth of new tissue and nerve, working out in our gym, the leg reached it's max growth. However the old injuries were usually football (muscle tears) on the old boys, before P.T. was in use. The components of the blood crystallize, extra calcium binds to the site. It is like glass fragments. eek.\n\nIf your insurance wont pay for "Massage", you must find a way to get your feet and legs massaged. Be careful that you have someone trained, or they can damage the fragile state of your tissue at this time. I wish I were a hundred me, so I could be the one to help you heal.\nIf you could apply Cold Packs to your feet, it would take away some of the pressure of fluid against the nerves, that are causing the crushing, tingling sensation. (Hobbling), James Caan was feeling in Misery. Since you don't have the feeling in them, you must be careful with the cold pack. Start with 10 Min. max. Not directly on the skin, wrap in a small towel. You can also Ice other areas, the back of the knee is a lymph area, gently massage in an upward motion.. Stretch youself as much as you can.\nI know you mention upper chest, which Vertabrae I am wondering. Can you reach your suffering feet to rotate your ankles?\n\nSeems like if you have SSD, or Health plan, you could have a Physical Therapist work on your legs, especially your Sciatic nerves that you are sitting on all day. I have seen some killer Gel Cushions. Expensive, however. It's good you ask your quesions here. I hope this helps you some. I love the Actress in the movie, she was good, can't think of her name.\n\nI will probably remember her name as soon as I sign off. he he\n\nP.S. If you can find your way to water therapy, especially a salt water pool, or some type of Hydro-Therapy, that would be the ticket.  Take care, give em hell....Marilyn \n And, as I always say, back off the salt. Chem. Panel lately?\n\nWhen I flipped a motorcycle in 76, In the Middle East. I landed on my face. My cheek turned green really fast. The best pain killer was Opium at the time. Maybe a little tooo good.

haha okok first off i admire your effort..you really went after it...so whats wrong with your legs??blood...when you worked out did you cool down..or did you sit down..when you left your workout room were you out of breath??if you didnt cool down(same exercises with lower reps and weight) you left a good amount of blood in your muscles(legs) are the biggest muscles=more pain) ..you're heart pumps oxygen rich blood your the muscles that need it ...a cool down would have help the blood get back to the heart faster..so you wont have to walk to the car feeling like you have an elephant on your back..also you could have just overwork yourself..after a workout,when you go home check your heart beat ..if i still beating fast two hours after working out ..you need it clutch down a gear..if this was recent go for a walk...you'll be less sore after work outs to!!...hope this helps..a very smart question too

How old are your shoes? I usually alternate between two pairs. When I am training for a marathon, I usually end up sitting with my legs up to my knees in a 5 gallon bucket of ice water after my long runs. For me it is my magic pill that will cure anything. There is a difference between pain and just sore. Every couple of years I see a Physical Therapists to make sure I am not seriously injuring anything. My moto is stretch, ice and ibuprofen.

I bet if you stand straight, your feet flare lateraly.  This is putting stress on the MCL.  Also, the fact that you don't do any strengh training that works your legs could be the very reason your knees hurt.  What do I mean, well, the way you walk, your posture, if you run on concrete, could all cause your knees to hurt.  The best way to keep them healthy is to make sure you use new shoes (esp if you run), try orthotics (will help to correct your standing and walking posture), Have someone evaluate your GAIT(and orthapedic dr. will not do any of this) and start working out your legs.  I love watching people in the gym abuse their upper body, but neglect their legs.  Then never wear shorts at the gym.  Large upper body, spindily little legs.  If you work your legs, your muscles will protect your joints.  I love the argument that "lifting legs will make you slow"  Look at olympic sprinters legs.  Then try to tell me they don't do squats, deadlifts, etc.  Yes, working out legs is hard work, but why are you in the gym.  Squats, deadlifts, Calves, quads.  Get working on it.  Make sure someone who knows what they are doign shows you how to prevent injury.  Squats are great, with proper form, deadlifts and ab work will protect you low back, Quads and hams will help with knees and low back.  Plus, get good with squats and make the meatheads in the gym jealous because they wished they could be that strong.  At 180 lbs, I can squat over 400 lbs and I do not have an ounce of back or knee pain.  Have fun.

My daughter & I both get a sharp shooting pain through our right shoulder. It feels like your being electricuted. I asked the doctor about it & she said it's mild nerve damage that should correct itself with exercise.

Jogging is a high-impact form of exercise, so it is rough on your joints in general.  If you can jog on a softer surface like a natural trail or special trails that have a foam like texture, or inside at a fitness center, that might help.\n\nDepending on your age and other factors, this could be a symptom of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or deterioration of the cartilige in your knee.  If it only hurts for a few minutes, I would just try finding a softer surface, or you could consider switching to a lower impact exercise like bicycling.  If it starts to interfere with your daily activity, then you should see a doctor or orthopedic surgeon for advice.

You should get it checked out by your doctor. My knee used to feel that way every now and then and does when I run a lot or do something vigorous for too long, and still will at times, especially when my right knee is bent for too long(when I fold my legs sitting or am bent down), it aches extremely bad for a while. I'd be careful if I were you. But def go to the doctor. Hope your feeling better soon!!!!

If you are in pain when you do an exercise, you may be doing it wrong.  Don't do that exercise.  Also check with your doctor about this.......

You can get the same results as running, if you walk at a brisk pace.  When you are saying you're "stressing out your leg muscles" are they hurting?  Are you just beginning your program?  Consider this: walking for 10 minutes to warm up, then run for 10, walk for 10, run for ten.  Try alternating running and walking, or put the running aside for a week and walk fast for about 30 minutes, you'll get the same results and with no added impact to your knees, legs, feet, joints, back.\n   If you do decide you want to keep running, walk for at least 5 minutes first to get your muscles warmed up.  Starting to run right away without warming them up first can cause some injury to them, and then you're "on break" for awhile.  \nOh and to answer your question (finally!) yes, walking and running every other day will certainly burn fat.    Hope this helps....
