Hip Flexor Progress

by Dan
(Lacrosse, WI)

I have been faithfully performing the stretching and phase I strength exercises almost everyday for almost a week and the mobility and strength is returning to my hips. I still cannot run, as it hurts, but does not hurt during other activities and I have been able to do a lot of cycling with no pain. We are still trying to figure out whether I have tendonitis or a hernia and I have already had a CAT scan and am going back for an Ultrasound in a couple of days. I was hoping to get better to run a marathon at the end of this month, but I have put that idea on hold and decided on working on healing completely and regrouping for next year.

I have had numerous injuries over the last year that have been hip related and I am confident that I will get through this by continuing to do exercises a couple of times a week and that should help to prevent them from re-occurring.

I will keep you posted and have been please with the results that I have so far.
