Experiencing Sharp Pain In Hip & Also Noticed A Small Lump
Hi, About 3 weeks ago I strained by hip flexor whilst running. I have since iced it regularly and rested from any form of exercise. Every now and then I have a sharp pain coming from the area, mainly when just walking. I have also found a very small lump in that area, directly where the pain comes from. I m not sure what it is?

Hi you have hurt your hip flexors while running and even after 3 weeks you feel the pain and you notice a source of pain as a lump. You have probably torn some fibres leading to a collection of blood (Lump blood + torn muscle fibres). I suggest that you take mild pain killers , do hot fomentation ( not Icing) and wait for further 2 weeks, If no relief then you may have to consult your doctor.
