  Hi @jorden69
  
  Ouch. I’ve done similar injuries to myself when exercising! I’m not a doctor so cant help him but my injuries went away after a day or so – I think it was because I didnt warm up properly so I’ve strained a muscle or a tendon?
  
  If your teacher’s in lots of pain though maybe they should visit their GP – they’ll be able to help more than me!

  Hi @jorden69
  Definitely go and see a GP, or go to a sports physiotherapist. I have had sports injuries before and they are annoying! Sometimes they just get better, and sometimes you need to do special exercises to improve the strength and make it better.
  
  But this isn’t the kind of science question we can answer, your teacher should ask a professional!
