The front/side of my hip has been giving me a lot of trouble recently. I'm 37.
I first hurt it earlier this year, but the pain wasn't too bad so I ignored it and kept surfing, running, and going to the gym. Not smart. I assumed it was a hip flexor strain. The pain became quite intense so I took about a 4 month break from physical activity, which coincided with lockdown.
I started hiking, light running, and surfing again in the past month, but the hip pain seems to have started again. Is it possible that there is another underlying hip issue, and that it wasn't a hip flexor strain?
Asking here because I don't have great health insurance.
Thanks for any input.
