So I have another thread a little ways down, but made this new one because the problem has become much more worrisome to me.
So close to 2 months ago, I hurt my hip while squatting. Wasn't a sudden pain, just noticed it after the workout. I realized something was wrong after it hadn't gotten better in 2 weeks. Went to an orthopedist, and they told me that I pulled a hip flexor and may have a pelvic avulsion fracture. Put me on crutches and Meloxicam (anti-inflammatory) until further notice. I got an MRI and found that I have no signs of an avulsion fracture, thankfully.
The problem is that it has been about 2 months now since this injury happened, and it really hasn't gotten that much better. At first it the site of injury when walking, now it does not, and it may be a tad bit better when my hip is flexed now (pain only happens when hip is flexed above 90 degrees, and the pain is right below the pelvic crest in the crease made by the thigh and stomach/groin).
Basically, is this normal? Should it really be taking this long for an injury like this? Should I ditch the crutches since I can walk without them? Should I start doing some massage to the muscle? I'm starting to get quite worried since it has not healed by now, not to mention very sad from discontinuing any training and basically any activity at all due to the hip's involvement.
Thanks!
