A guy tears his quad doing plate lunges with a 25-lb weight and feels a pop followed by immediate swelling. He's skipping the doctor for now and treating it at home with ice, compression, elevation, curcumin, and a Primal Mud bath.
It's a bugger, man. Like, it hurts. You know, I was just doing these plate lunges with a 25, and I heard it pop. I felt it pop just in here, and it came from right here. I just— it's— the leg's about twice the size as it was. I've got just all this fluid forming around the knee, so I don't know quite what to do. There's no point really going to the doctor till the swelling goes down. It's just like a hamstring. I got some curcumin I'm gonna get in some Primal Mud. I'll go home and hop in a bath with the Primal Mud, take the curcumin. I've got it iced up now and compressed, and I'll just elevate it, I suppose. I don't know. Oh man, it's like, it's like I'm in a bloody blast zone, you know? If it's not one thing, it's another.
