how to treat pulled ligament in back thigh
Avoid any activities that may have caused the pulled ligament or any that could re-aggravate the ligament. Ice the ligament. Wrap ice in a towel or other thin cloth and apply to the injured ligament for 15 minutes per hour on the first day. On the days following, apply the ice for 15 minutes every 2-3 hours. Ice will reduce swelling and allow for proper circulation around the ligament. Wrap the injury with an elastic compression band.
When sitting keep your leg elevated, which can reduce swelling. Use ice. When a thigh muscle is pulled, swelling may occur. Applying ice to the thigh for 15 minutes a few times a day may reduce the swelling and the pain. Wrap an ice pack in a clean towel and place it on the part of the thigh muscle which is pulled. Avoid putting ice directly on the skin which can cause injury.
