I am a 32 year old female (5 6 , 110 lbs). Three days ago I completed a duathlon. I was slightly sore the day after but nothing too painful. Today I woke up and had a lump on my right hip flexor. It hurts to the touch and it feels slightly uncomfortable to walk. Do you think I strained my hip flexor? If so, what is the best treatment. If not, what are the other possibilities and should I see a doctor?
Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Cause and plan of Treatment-In my opinion on the given data, you seem to have partial muscle tear, which over a night formed a lump due to the hematoma at the torn site in flexors. Treatment is by-Cold compresses/Voltaren Gel/Tomophobe point for 7-10 days time. IF it is reduced good, if not go to ER Sport-doctor. So I would advise you to consult an ER Sport doctor.
