To the practioners of the most noble stroke...Hip pain?
Former Member
I'm a breaststroker...for anyone who confused "noble stroke" with some other lesser stroke....;) Usually the one part of my body that hurts is my shoulders and occasionaly knees, but my hip has been killing me lately.
I have double jointed hips and they occasionally slip out of place, but I can usually pop them back in easily and it only takes about day. My hip has been hurting for about a week now and it's different pain then slipped out of place.
Any ideas what could be causing it or how to fix it?
Merci Beaucoup!

What you described sounds to me like a strained hip flexor (flexer??). I get a similar sensation from doing to many lunges--thus, a great reason for me not to do them. (I don't care if every trainer in the world says they are the perfect move to tone the "lower half" :thhbbb: )
Anyway, when it happens to me the only cure is rest. Swimming freestyle, back & fly do not aggrevate the problem, so stick with them for a while.
Breaststroke, like lunges, should only be done in moderation. Recently acquired Speedo breastroke fins to try sparking interest in this stroke, but the "new toy" factor is wearing off and I still do not feel the love...
