Disclaimer: I am not seeking medical advice, I’m just curious as to what transpired here. The situation is resolving, I have health insurance, and will seek medical attention if it is warranted.
So, we just recently returned from two weeks in St Martin. While there, we hiked from Loterie up to Pic Paradise (highest spot on the island). It was a fairly strenuous hike, but very enjoyable. I had no pain on the hike.
The evening after the hike I experienced a severe muscle cramp in my thigh. It was the “inner thigh” between the groin and the knee. It hurt. I’ve had muscle cramps before; this one seemed worse.
Last night (ten or so days after the cramp) I mentioned to my gf that the area was still a bit sore. I was wearing a robe, and she massaged the area, then let out an “OMG”. I guess I don’t look at that part of me often. There is a bruise there.
Here is a picture of the area. What happened???
