Stretched leg over buttocks and gripping with opposite hand resulted in a charley horse in both thighs...

[@stephaniewalton8061]

Yes, I had the same problem but I kept doing it and eventually I didn't have them anymore.

You can begin by applying trigger point pressure release to your hamstrings and lower legs first. Here are the links from my channel. Hamstrings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6LLe2SrlpWGmZI kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKLXgY2im755bas

[@Drogos79]

ok that's pain relief, how to address underlying issue ?

[@chicagocenterformyofascial1555]

To address underlying issues for myofascial pain you can look into chapter 17 in my book; Trigger Point Therapy for Low Back Pain. Many perpetuating factors at play; softness of mattress, work/driving/sitting posture, ...

I have hip pain on my right side so I had a tendency to lean to the left when I squat and I think I hurt my left vastus laterslis, that make sense? (It’s just below the hip/butt on the side/rear)

[@chicagocenterformyofascial1555]

Look to our video on the quadratus lumborum as the source of referred sensation into hip/butt and the QL muscle could be making you lean to one side. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5SllGaPqqd0eMU

[@Menyhard]

What if you. Can’t go on the floor

[@chicagocenterformyofascial1555]

You could use a smaller ball while sitting on a chair.

[@Covert_Op]

What if it is too painful to use the foam roller

[@chicagocenterformyofascial1555]

Use a 5" soft ball, from www.FitBallUS.com

[@teecee848]

thank you- but what causes the pain in the first place? is it uneven hips?

[@Misahaha]

I want to know too. I want to get back to running

[@ingyb6180]

Getting old👴

To address underlying issues for myofascial pain you can look into chapter 17 in my book; Trigger Point Therapy for Low Back Pain. Many perpetuating factors can cause trigger points to form....softness of mattress, work/driving/sitting posture, dehydration, You can also look up my video for the Quadratus Lumborum muscle that could be causing problems in the glutes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5SllGaPqqd0eMU

Often caused by weak and underactivated glutes medius

so I sit on my legs a lot and recently my Vastus Lateralis has started to have waves of serious pain. I've been RICE-ing it and taking asprin but it's been incredibly painful all day. Even in the RICE-ing situation there will be waves of pain. Any recommendations?

[@samq146]

Have you been able to find any relief ? i'm having the same situation and the pain won't go away

[@sebastianandreapauleeng.3583]

We have the same condition how do you able to heal it

[@ariana3348]

@@sebastianandreapauleeng.3583 getting a standing desk and an under dest treadmill. I might that the problem is coming from too much sitting.

[@chicagocenterformyofascial1555]

There is no data to show that ice is a helpful therapy for reducing the problems caused by trigger points. Consider using a warm water bag from www.TigerTailUSA.com Also, Change your work posture, and if by your comment "I sit on my legs alot" that means you tuck one leg under your butt to sit, you will need to stop doing that as it is hyper-flexing your knee and over stretching all your quads including Vastus Lateralis.
