This happened four weeks ago.....was squatting and at the bottom of my second rep I heard a sound that sounded like something quickly tearing a piece of paper by the proximal end of femur. Extremely freaked me out, but didn't hurt at all so I finished my set. No real swelling or redness at all after or the next day. It hurts slightly when I'm sitting in a chair and try to lift my foot off the floor. Hurts a little also when I extend my knee. No significant pain, but still bothers me.
Today:
Pain is almost completely gone, but it still bothers me at the bottom of my squat with my hip impinged. I went to my ortho today who recommended physical therapy for the next three weeks, and said not to squat again until then(which will be 7 weeks) and if its not better he said the next step is an MRI with contrast. I'm hoping it wont come to that.
What makeshift program can I do for the next three weeks to continue getting stronger? I guess I could use hamstring curls and knee extensions as a piss poor substitute. Then domy alternating Bench Press and Overhead Press. However, can I add more upper body to compensate?
Thank you,
Dave
