Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
you NEED to stretch it!. Sitting around letting it stiffen wont help!. Take a tennis ball and use it to decompress the muscle!. [ Lay on your back and play the tennis ball where the knot is and lay there for a good 5 min ] This should hopefully losen it up and get the knot out!. also, any sort of turnout stretch should help!. Try sitting with one leg on top of the other, so your ankle is on the other legs knee!. Then if possible lay forward over your legs and reach as far as you can to the center!. This should help!!!

Absolutely!.!.!.wait until it heals!. If you keep stretching it, you will keep re-injuring it!. In the future, make sure that you are warm before you stretch!. You can check out http://danceaxis!.com/!?L=cms!.News for more info on stretching!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
