I injured my leg doing my oversplits and I heard a loud pop. I am really worried because I have shows soon and I cant get my leg above a ninety degree angle without it hurting badly. I did this yesterday and stretched lightly today noticing I havent lost my flexibility when stretching with a bent leg, but when pulling my leg into a split on a straight leg the pain is awful. What should I do? I have heard so many stores of dancers hurting something and then taking a rest and losing a large amount of their flexibility.

In my opinion I suggest you ice it for the first 48 hrs and after exercises with massage and topical gel administration, NSAIDs like Advil, muscle relaxants and some relaxation will be effective for you, I also recommend longer warming up time before your excessive will be helpful for dancers.i don't think you will lose any kind of flexibility if followed the instructions and try not to overuse your joints and give them time to heel.
