What could cause a sharp pop in my upper thigh?

Hello

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It looks like a hamstring injury (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). I need a little information, kindly answer them.

1. What were you doing at the time of injury?

2. What treatment have you taken till now?

Thanks and regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Well, it is a hamstring tendon injury (a strain or tear to the tendons). Ideally speaking, you should go for an ultrasound with a musculoskeletal radiologist and then decide further course of action. But what you can do is:

1. Do ice fomentation thrice a day for 15 minutes.

2. Take anti-inflammatory medications.

3. Take a tablet of Trypsin-chymotrypsin (oral proteolytic enzyme) to reduce swelling.

Wait and watch for another week and if it is improving, then it is fine otherwise consult a specialist for further evaluation.

Take care.

Thanks and regards.
