Re: Pain in the butt due to golf?
Hey everyone,
I have an embarassing question:
Has anyone ever hurt themselves due to their golf swing? I recently sprained/muscle spasm in my left butt (the gluteus medius to be exact) which is the muscle that is responsible for stabilizing the hip. I am a lefty and I sometimes fall back due to poor weight transfer which may have caused this... (I have no idea, just grasping at straws here)
It's been 2 weeks and I just saw an acupuncturist/message therapist (there is a sports injury clinic near my work) and he said I likely over exerted/overused the muscle due to 3 days in a row of golf with no day off to rest (plus I carry my bag)
It hurts to walk and I've been taking advils for which help but once it wears off, look out....suffice to say no golf for me the last 2 weeks.... and this is after the round of my life... (shot 11 over par...which is way better considering on this course I usually shoot 20-25 over)
Anyone ever experience anything similar or am I the only idiot who manages to hurt themselves in such an awkward area?
Thanks
