Thigh & Hip pain

I'm a kickboxer, before I started training heavily I did a hook kick with my left leg without warming up. Bad idea.

I started training heavily with an injury and kept making it worse. 2 months ago, I stopped training and rested my leg.. My leg is nearly better, just got a slight pain in my thigh but my main concern is hip pain, at the front and the side of the hip. Occurs when running, or after I've been walking all day (7pm onwards, I get pain from all the days walking)

I take Ibuprofen once per day, before bed (ive been on ibuprofen for inflammation for around 2 months)

I want to get back into training, I've had 2 months of pure rest. The pain occurs in my groin/thigh area, when i 'flex' my left leg out, to the left. where the knee is, on the right hand side, go up a bit towards the groin, right there it hurts.

Should I wait it out a few more weeks? Start training again? take more ibuprofen? stretch it? what should i do? pain is very very minimal, but theres still a little there, in certain positions. my hip also feels tight, is this normal after an injury?

I look forward to your responses.

I would recommend seeing a physiotherapist for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment especially considering your symptoms have been ongoing for months. Some of the more likely causes of the symptoms you describe may include:

Labral Tear
Groin Strain

Good luck with recovery,

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint, surrounded by large muscles. The ball, the round head of the femur (thigh bone), is set deeply in the acetabulum, a deep socket or cavity in the pelvis. The joint is very stable. The majority of long-term hip problems are associated with aging, disease (such as arthritis) and fractures. But pain in the hip and thigh also can be caused by injury to muscles, tendons or bursas, usually from a fall, a blow or overuse.

Hip pain in athletes involves a wide differential diagnosis. Adolescents and young adults are at particular risk for various apophyseal and epiphyseal injuries due to lack of ossification of these cartilaginous growth plates. Older athletes are more likely to present with tendinitis in these areas because their growth plates have closed. Several bursae in the hip area are prone to inflammation. The trochanteric bursa is the most commonly injured, and the lesion is easily identified by palpation of the area.

Quadricep, hamstring, and Iliotibial band injuries can be quite painful. However, there are several ways to help stablize muscular pulls. Compression braces can help provide stabilization to the torn muscle fibers and improve the ability to walk or help protect from futher injury. Ice packs and cold wraps help reduce pain and inflammation, and pain relief gels can provide temporary relief of painful symptoms. Many athletes use magnetic products to stimulate blood flow and reduce pain.

One of the biggest causes of hip and back pain is the psoas muscle. These problems include but are not limited to lower back pain, sciatica, disc problems, knee pain, pelvic tilting, digestive problems, infertility, and menstruation pain. You could also experience scoliosis, a difference in the length of your legs, kyphosis, sacroiliac pain and accentuated lumbar lordosis.

The exercise is best for reducing pain in the thigh and hip, and stretching the muscles and builds muscle tone without straining your hip joint. It is better to work with a physical therapist to learn proper exercises and how to advance your activity.
