Pain in left hip?

Question

Okay I was doing lunges during track practice about three weeks ago and i guess I streched my leg out too far behind me because my left hip area really started to hurt.

Three weeks later it STILL hurts whenever I walk or run. (It doesn't hurt when I'm sitting or laying down)

I really miss running and i just want it to get better.

What could be wrong?

Answer 1

Okay, I'm not a doctor, but if it still hurts three weeks later then you should get it checked out by a doctor. I would guess that you pulled a nerve or ligament or something. (I suck at anatomy lol) But yeah just get it checked out and treated and you should be okay. I personally have had to deal with terrible knees for all the years I have played soccer, baseball, and basketball and I played through some pain, but there is some pain that shouldn't and can't be played through. Hope that helps.
