Area of pain
For over a year now, a have a pain in my right thigh. It is around the hip flexor, to the inside of the leg.
There was no specific injury. One day I started to feel a sensation like a there was a tear in the muscle. It is not very painful. Over the past year, it has worsened, whenever I start working out. It is not very painful but is an ongoing discomfort. I only feel it in certain positions: e.g. lunges or if I stand and bend my leg pulling my foot to my butt.
- I work out about 30 minutes 3 times a week. I do various activities, spinning, group classes, elliptical machine.
- I work in an office, walk 25 minutes two times a day.
I have been to months of treatment – physio, chiro, osteo, massage therapy. Nothing has resolved my issue. I have seen two different doctors more than once. Here are some things that my treatment providers have told me:
- I naturally hold myself in anterior pelvic tilt. I now make a big effort every time I am walking to be in a neutral position.
- One doctor said I had hip bursitis and gave me a cortisone shot which did nothing.
- Scar tissue from an injury (although I don’t know of an injury I have had). I need to keep moving so that the scar tissue comes apart and heals.
- I also have very hard knots in my quads all the time. I do regular rolling. At one point as part of my physio treatment, I was also getting dry needling to release the knots. It did not provide any sort of lasting solution.
- My toe muscles are weak on this leg – in the abductor hallucis area.
- My glute muscles are weak.
Thank you for any advice you have.
Best regards.
