What causes pain in my hips?
Patient: First time ive done this. After about 6 months of kick boxing i started to eperience a pain in my hips or pelvis. Feels like hip flexors. When i try to do side splits it is very soar on my hips. Feels like bone pain but it must be muscle. Also when doing these side splits my body twists to the left, like im throwing a right roundhouse, which leads me to believe ive overtrained my right round house kick compared to my left Roundhouse kick. Doctor: Hello!Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!Your symptoms are suggestive of a stretched muscle. Anyway, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and performing a lumbar column X ray study in order to investigate for a possible bulging intervertebral disc, which could lead to a pinched nerve (the femoral nerve). Hope to have been helpful!Kind regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
