[|Human|] Four months ago, I jumped into the split and heard a pop/snap followed by a burning sensation on my upper thigh near my butt. I limped for days, and couldnt lift my leg. Four months later it still hurts to stretch or flex my right leg. I didnt fully have my split and i landed kind of wrong with my foot flexed.
[|AI|]  Hello, As the pain hasn't come down over a period of 4 months I request you to get it assessed and examined under an orthopedist. As this might be due to either ligament sprain at the hip joint or nerve entrapment at the lumbar level. Due to which the motor movements of the muscles have been compromised. Since there was burning sensation I suspect a nerve pull. This needs rest initially and later a guided exercise program to retain the muscle strength. As joints are supported by muscular system it is always good to get a diagnosis under a physical examination and assessment by an orthopedist and take the call for MRI for hip or lower back. As you were doing splits there might be a labrum injury which needs to be assessed. Kindly have a diagnosis and then look forward for the exercise session under a guided physical therapist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
