Why Does My Hip Flexor Feels Tight And Causes Pain?

okay well I ve been having some pain on my right hip for probably a month now. I am in track and when I get done with a race my hip flexor feels tight. So last week I finally decided to go to our athletic trainer and sure enough she tells me to get an X-ray but if nothing shows up then she wants me to get an MRI. And MRIs cost a lot of money. what do I do?

Hello,

I have studied your case.
Restricted flexion at hip joint indicates possibility of hip arthritis.
Hip arthritis can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN].
I will advise you do X ray of hip and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor.
Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate.
For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.

Diet rich in calcium and protein will help
