Discomfort In Hips. Did The P90X Ab Ripper X Workout. Why Can I Not Stand Straight?
I did the P90X Ab Ripper X workout on Tuesday and Yesterday. Right after I was done on Tuesday I felt discomfort to my hip flexors but thought it was just because I had not worked out in a while. The next day, they were much worse but did the workout again. I could not sleep last night because I cannot lay flat. I can barely lift my leg on my own and I cannot stand straight up without pain. Should I wait to see if they get better or go see a doctor?

see a doctor as there could be a muscle pull or stretching or even sprain.Try some painkillers like methacarbamol 750 mg along with brufen 400 mg thrice a day after meal, apply hot packs to affected area and take complete rest from all workouts
