I'll stretch now. This is one of the more embarrassing injuries I've experienced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-possible-to-sprain-your-butt#post-1694520 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 21:49:48 +0000 Synchronicity 1694520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could have strained a muscle! Glute max is a big muscle and I think it would be fairly tough to strain, but there is little piriformis that is deeper in which gives people all sorts of problems! A sprain would be non-muscular, so ligament tears and that sort of thing. Either way, not fun! Try to take it easy, use heat or ice (whichever makes it feel better), and some gentle stretching as the pain goes down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-possible-to-sprain-your-butt#post-1694509 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 21:42:02 +0000 Katrocap 1694509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.pen: good point to distinguish between muscle and bone. I guess it's more like a pulled muscle. There wasn't an injury, I just felt a pain when I got out of the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-possible-to-sprain-your-butt#post-1694490 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 21:33:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1694490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was there an injury? And technically yes, you could sprain it- you have spinal bones that curve inward at your butt, and of course 3 hip bones.<br /> And there are multiple muscles- but in my experience bone and muscle injuries feel quite differently! If you sprained a spine or hip bone you likely wouldn't be able to walk.</p> <p>I'd consider checking out a chiropractor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-possible-to-sprain-your-butt#post-1694485 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 21:31:27 +0000 chopsuey 1694485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-possible-to-sprain-your-butt#post-1694474 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 21:26:44 +0000 Katrocap 1694474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another post title I never imagined I'd write. Today when I got out of the car I felt like I pulled a muscle in my left buttock. Sorry for the TMI. It's sore and feels uncomfortable when I walk. There are gluteal muscles, right? What do you do if you pull one? I don't want to go to the doctor and explain that I may have sprained my butt. :sad: </p>
