“Those who do not view armed self defense as a basic human right, ignore the mass graves of those who died on their knees at the hands of tyrants.”
I've had similar issues before. Ultimately it was tied to very tense hip flexors and something like a kick, etc. That aggrivated the situation.
So I finally saw a sports medicine doctor for this and he thought it could be a sports hernia and her referred me to a physical therapist. She evaluated me in a lot more detail and determined it was a super tight psoas muscle. I probably pulled it last year when lifting and after enough time off that healed but it’s still way too tight and whenever I do any squats or deadlifts it knots up.
She gave me some pelvic exercises to do and a version of the runners stretch to hit the psoas. Anyone else deal with an injury like that? She can manually release it but I can’t really dig in there that well by myself, anyway to manually release it on my own?
Thanks, I was about to order one of those and my physical therapist said it’s looking great now and I can start adding in my lower body lifts now (lightly). Along with doing my stretching and whatnot. Can’t believe I took this long to get this sorted out and three weeks later and I’m close to being fixed.
I suffered a sports hernia about two and a half years ago. I stopped doing exercises that aggravated it, but every few months just as it was almost healed something mundane would re-aggravate it. Took almost a year and a half before I was completely pain free. Incredible how long groin-area injuries take to heal.
