Hi, I recently strained my QL and I have been off the weights for about a month now. I can move around really well, but I still feel a little bit of pain where my QL is. I was wondering if this means the muscle is still healing or can it be healed and still ache? I have been wondering about this for awhile. I pulled a muscle in my shoulder and it seems to be the same as my lower back. It is fully healed but still hurts from time to time. I usually just give it a little massage and its good to go. I really just want to get back to the gym lol! Anyways, any help is appreciated! Thanks!
