Pulled muscle

I've pulled a muscle. Good and proper. I need it fully functioning by saturday morning. Any ideas or tips

 

Alternate heat and ice packs, rest as much as possible and if you are not asthmatic ibuprofen gel massaged may help or tablet form if it is painful.
Hope it soon recovers for you, Clue.

 

What muscle have you pulled Clue?

 

Wire brush and Dettol, it's the only way to be sure

 

The bulk of the pain is on my inner thigh, but there's a dull ache in my lower back and the muscle that runs down the front of my leg.

 

Only when the wife kicks me for not scrubbing the floor fast enough.

 

Sorry FC, I've just realised you were not joking. I don't think there's any sciatic nerve damage thankfully. Just muscle inflammation.

 

hot bath! with bubbles of course

 

Epsom salts in the bath and a glass of bubbles in the hand?

 

ooooo even better @Adendoll lol

 

I have some essential oil of rosemary. I'm going to rub some of that in after a hot bath. Rosemary oil is brilliant stuff, and so under rated. Apart from acting as a localised anti-inflammatory, the fumes also give you very intense dreams.

 

I'm pleased to report that having rubbed rosemary oil in last night then again this morning, I was walking without hobbling by 10:30AM. No pain now, although I haven't chanced exerting any force on it yet. Hopefully I'm on course to be fit for tomorrow's event.

 

1) Go for early retirement on ill health grounds.

2) Rub some gel on it.
