Pain in inner thigh when running

Faced with an increasingly fast pace of life, increasing life pressure, and frequent long hours of sitting in the office, people are paying more and more attention to health preservation, and are improving their body resistance by strengthening physical exercise and running. But what causes inner thigh pain after running? I believe most of my friends have had this experience. Let’s take a detailed look at the causes and mitigation measures below, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

There will be pain after the initial exercise. If it is a major leg exercise such as running, if you exercise too much in the first few days, especially the first two days (depending on your personal constitution), after stopping exercise for a period of time, especially after getting up the next day, there will be a sharp pain in the calves, inner thighs and roots, as if the muscles are filled with lead, and even walking becomes unsteady. When I first started long-distance running, my coach required us to reach the maximum training volume every time. Sometimes I could only crawl to the bed, but the pain will disappear as long as you persist for 7 days, and you will obviously feel that your leg muscles have become much stronger. If your legs do not feel filled with lead after training, the expected effect will not be achieved. In short, if you want to enjoy the results of exercise, you must first be able to endure hardships and never give up easily, because no matter how long you practice, as long as you don’t persist for a week, you will have to start all over again.

In addition, soak your feet in warm water after exercise and place a pillow or something under the base of your feet when you go to bed, trying to keep your feet at the same height as your head. This can reduce pain the next day, but I feel like it doesn't seem to be very useful.

Tendons (commonly known as "tendons") connect bones and muscles, so the relationship between tendons and bones is complementary and the relationship between them is relatively close. Muscles are meant to protect bones and tendons. Relatively speaking, tendon and bone injuries are more difficult to heal, require a lot of time to rest, and are difficult to heal (to 100%). Muscle injuries should be easier to heal.

Muscle-tendon injury type. Patients with this condition may experience mild discomfort when walking, but may immediately experience severe stabbing pain when attempting to make quick movements, such as running. The pain is usually found on the inner thigh near the groin, and may even occur on the inner side of the knee. The affected area is slightly swollen and painful when pressed. In addition, the patient will feel pain whether stretching or providing resistance.

Clinically, muscle strain in the thigh is the most likely cause of groin pain, including the sartorius muscle, rectus femoris, gracilis, adductor muscle, iliopsoas muscle, etc. These parts usually heal more slowly, so you must rest for 1 to 2 weeks. The traditional treatment is to give non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for 7 to 10 days, and use ice compresses at the beginning, and then switch to hot compresses after 48 hours. During this period, a support belt is used to fix the waist and hip joints, and the pain will gradually subside.

Drug recommendations: Voltaren, a Western medicine produced by Beijing Ruihua. This is a better medicine for treating non-external injuries. As for safflower oil, it can be used, but it is not professional. Those bone-setting waters and sprays are painkillers.

Do not judge on your own and take the injury lightly. You should go to a specialist hospital for examination.
