You can have hip injuries when you pull a muscle by rotating your hips. Also back injury if you do not properly stretch or force your back to move in a way where it is not flexible. The most common injury is probably a pulled muscle witch you can relieve by aplying heat to loosen the muscle. then stretch it out carefully a little bit at a time.
The best time to stretch is after exercise...that way your muscles and your body is warm. wel no its not its before an exersiz and my favorate in the morning after a sleep hehe. Actually, the best times to stretch are before and after exercising. As a warm up so you don't hurt yourself while exercising and as a cool down to help get your heart rate back to normal and to help with flexibility and such.

You can look those up if you actually don't know any stretches.
