Hey Doctor, i basically have this pain in my left hip flexor region it basically started when i came home after playing basketball. I didnt feel the pain as soon as i stopped playing, when i got home i had a few cramps then the next day i woke up and had some pain. Now this happened about a week ago so i put ibuprofen cream and rested. The pain is almost gone but when i run i can feel it again so what should i do?
