I have a strained hip flexor and was wondering how long of healing time there is for this...? |
I strained my hip flexor running 2 weeks ago. My psoras (sp??) muscle is sore also, and very tense. I had my hip adjusted at a chiropractor, and it helped, but my psoras muscle is still very sore in my back, and my hip aches when I'm not doing anything, and is sore walking, getting into a car, etc. Then, three days ago I nearly slipped in the shower, and caught my balance but really wrenched my hip in the process. I feel like as far as pain, i've gone backwards about a week or so. I'm frustrated and wondering a couple of things: 1. How long is typical healing time for this? 2. What can I do to exercise for now? (I'm going crazy not running...) Is a stationary bike ok? Anyone with experience in this area or medical background/training, please help! Thank you!!! First you should not be seeing a chiropractor for a muscle strain! Muscle strains take 4-6 weeks to heal providing you do not have a re-injury in that time...if you do then you are back at day 1 of healing. In that time you can help the muscle to heal by doing some gentle stretching of the muscle on a daily basis, place an ice bag directly on the skin over the area that hurts for 15 mins (if you can, the psoas muscle is deep in your abdomen). You will start to feel improvement in about 3 wks but its important to know that the muscle is not completely healed and you need to wait minimum of 4 wks before going back to any strenuous activity such as running. If you continue to have problems after 6 wks then go see a doctor and get a referral for physical therapy. Source(s): sports medicine healthcare professional do bodyweight squats with a swiss ball behind you. Basically you can do all the low impact forms of cardio, stationary bike, crosstrainers. so long it does not have too big a movement. See your chiropractor soon again. Typically 2 to 3 months from what i observe of my clients. Do isolation exercise like one-legged leg extension and leg curl. keep your body tight in position while doing it. Stop the moment u start to feel the pain. Please do not push through it, you will only worsen it most of the time.
