Med School 101

It hurts at the head of the adductor longus and into the brevis
It's been so long since Linda's leg has "caught" when she is driving that she almost panicked today.  She taught her 2 classes (and went pretty hard too) without any problems.  Her body felt fine.   Months back, when she was finished a workout and was driving home, she would start to move her leg from the gas peddle to the break peddle and her leg would lock-up at her groin. The pain is excruciating whenever she would try to adduct her right leg, in fact... she can't even push it together with her hand.  In order to stop the car, she had to use her other foot.   Once she can get out of the car and take a few steps forward, the pain totally goes away but there is tingling down her leg for hours. Right now she can swing her leg back and forth with zero impingement, just the pins and needles. Ten minutes ago tears were coming out of her eyes because it hurt so bad. It's the weirdest injury ever.  She says that is why she isn't taking us for a walk on this incredible 70 degree day.  Since she has another class to teach at 4:30 and nursery duty tonight at Church, she wants to rest.  Sure, some excuse Linda.
