Torn Quad

[DairyCreamer]

Hi guys,

Need some med advice here. I just got home from playing softball, and conveniently appear to have torn my right quad. I felt and heard a nice pop at I was rounding third, and just about any movement of the quad right now is quite sore. I can hobble around still, just not comfortably.

I've iced it once, will ice again shortly then apply heat. I have advil in me. Suggestions otherwise?

Looks like I'm not runnin the Bolder Boulder on Monday, sh|t!

Not too many doctors open at 7 PM, and this isn't hospital-worthy. Just lookin for some first aid advice. Icing and such, you know?

RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

After 24 hrs of cold compress, go to heat to speed the healing. And see a doc as soon as you can, as a *pop* from your extremities is never good - you might have popped something in your knee, especially from your "it popped as I was rounding third" story.

Ever heard of an ER?
