In gym we played Baseball. So I was going from 1st base to 2nd base when I got this huge thing of pain in my thigh area. Told the teacher and he gave me a slip for the nurse. Now we got a new nurse who wasent much of a help but she said it could be a pulled or teared muscle (probably not spelling it right). Gave me a ice pack and returned to gym. When school got out came home and have been resting it. Still hurts when I walk on it and sometimes hurts when im sitting down. When it's propped up it doesn't hurt at all. The nurse wanted to call my parents and have them come pick me up to do x-rays but I refused because of the following. My mom is watching my nephew for my sister and the car is with my dad who is a truck driver with the car at his work place. My grandmother is a half hour away and by the time she reached it me school would be over. My grandfather's working and doesn't have the time. Finally was I havent missed a day or left school in 3 years! I wasent going to end it there. So what should I do?

SHould have sucked it up and had her call your parents, I know you want to be responsible towards others but listen, your personal safety comes first, something might be torn and needs fixed and by not letting the nurse call and tell someone you could have potentially injured yourself further.

I would suggest you take some ibuprofen according to the recommended amounts on the bottle, follow them directly and the same with Tylenol at the same time but according to the bottle. Tylenol is liver toxic in high quantities.

Hi Everyone! I no longer have pain execpt a slight discomferet if I walk up the steps too fast. Resting my leg and applying ice helped... :)
