Glute Medius Injury

[InjuryProne]

Hi there,

Im not 100% sure what injury i have, but if you can help it would be much appreciated...

Basically it started when i was playing football, ive had quite a few problems in my past such as hamstring spasms etc, but they are ok now, when this happened i had a inflammed bursa (SP?) in my foot which is now better after an injection into it...

I felt a sharp pain in my gluteus medius, (the top of my bum), but continued to play football as i thought it was just a little twitch, the next few days i was in quite alot of pain, climbing stairs was painful, sitting down and getting up was painful, It felt better one day and i played football again, this time it was hurting alot, any time i went to sprint i would get a very sharp pain, while running i couldnt feel it, but changing direction etc i felt the pain...

I rested a few weeks and started doing some exercises i saw online...i would post the youtube link but i cant, so if you add this after youtube.../watch?v=9Iy-QrcuGno, they were the exercises I started, This seemed to help, but now i have been fasting and my body is dehydrated which doesnt help my muscle problems, I did the exercises for the first time the other day and my leg was hurting the next day and the following day, I didnt want to do the exercises again incase it made the injury worse, If you could help me would be very, very grateful thank you!

Hi

Where exactly is your pain. When you say the top of your bum do you mean at the back?? Also what led you to think you had a gluteus medius injury??

I'd be keen to know more about exact location of your pain and what else aggravates it ie: walking, sitting, sleeping, getting out of a chair etc.

Thanks
