What Causes Limping After A Crunch Sound From Hips?

I practice yoga regularly and I am quite flexible, but in doing the splits last night I had an almighty crunch from what sounded like my hips. I got up fine and could walk properly after. This morning I am limping quite badly. Have I done any serious damage.

Hi there.

The crunch sound could be due to stretching of tight ligaments around your hip. I would advise you to refrain from doing splits again for a while. Go about your daily activities. If you develop pain or swelling around the hip or groin, kindly apply warm soaks and get an Orthopaedic consult to rule out the same.
