Hip pain: What is wrong with my hip?


What is wrong with my hip?I injured my hip about 3 months ago while playing drums. I play heel up and I played about 3 hours on some really kick-pedal intense songs. I noticed it the next morning and also played soccer on it. That made it worse. Since then I have been recovering slowly while avoiding weightlifting with the legs and playing sports or drumming. I am able to run and do cardio but am still afraid to play sports or drum because it still hurts a little to do a full lunge and moving my hip in awkward positions causes minor pain. The most painful things are while in a full lunge, twisting my torso...sitting on the toilet (because of the angle of the seat..it dips my hip downward) and sitting and bending down i.e. to tie my shoe. All of these things mentioned are only minor now but they were severe 3 months ago. At first, I thought I had a sports hernia, then I thought it was hip flexor...or snapping hip syndrome....but now I'm starting to think its a torn hip labrum because of the healing time. I'm worried that it could come back to haunt me later in life and perhaps it's not healing correctly. I sit all day at work but otherwise am very active and on my feet. If anyone has any knowledge about hip injuries or has experienced something like this, please let me know. Thank you very much.

I am experincing the same problems, I am told by my surgeon this is actually a symptom from my back. I have sciatica and herniated disc. As in back issues, a hip issue even of the exact same symptoms may be caused by totally different injuries or conditions. The best is to have an MRI done of your lumbar spine and hip. Don't let them do an Xray this is not capable of seeing any ligaments, tendons, nerves, blood vessels or soft tissue. Hopefully it is only a slow healer because of your activity. regardless GOOD LUCK I know it can be painful and a " PAIN "
