A front of the right shoe on the back heal of the left shoe kind of deal. Get the left leg off, then the right one is next. Yeah I go to take off the right shoe and I hear the back of my leg near the harmstring area go pffffttttt. So after icing the leg up and going to bed, I wake up and I can barely move this morning. It's a little better know, granted I've taken some ibuprofen. But this leads me to my question, has anyone else ever suffered a weird injury like this. Just doing mundane day to day stuff.

A friend of mine was treated with accupuncture for sudden onset vertigo and it worked like a charm. If I ever am in need of pain relief or other relief from an ailment I'll definitely try it. I am glad it worked for you!
