when I do lunges i feel a sharp pain in my upper inner thighs...
any idea if this is something i should worry about, or should i just suck it up, and its nothen?

thanks for the help!!
 
weird, do you stretch? i cant lunge on my right leg cuz i broke a bone in my foot and it dont bend right lol
 
I don't know if you can answer this. Does the sharp pain feel like it's derived from a nerve or the muscle?

Nerve pains are usually unbearable and it will make you stop. They're generally a "somethings not right here" pain.

Muscle pains can also be sharp and shooting and those can also mean somethings wrong, strains are usually sharp, shooting pains. But if your pain is dispersed in somewhat of a large region, then its likely a muscle and stretching may help. Having a more extensive warm up would actually be even more helpful.

However, if both stretching and an extensive warm up doesn't alleviate the problem AND you're unsure of what they pain is, just do a different exercise for legs. Certain pains are the body's way of saying "I don't like this" and if pushed, the body will shut down that process of the pain it doesn't like in the form of a sprain, strain, tear, or rupture when aggravated enough.

I'm hardcore about lifting, but safety first.

Soreness we push through, strange pains we cater to.
 
thanks V, it doesnt hurt when i lunge on the left, but it does when i do it on the right, it gives like a sharp pinching pain, nothing ive felt before, I had to stop doing them because it just keeps getting worse, to where if I do it the pain makes me want to collaspe, not sure what it is, but it def. is not something normal, ill try stretching, and do it one more time, if it still does it I'm not gonna do the exercise...

but if I dont do that exercise anything else i could do, to replace that exercise using dumbells which is what i use for the lunges??

Thanks for the help!
