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!

  • I have been having a groin problem, mostly as aching, for the past 6 weeks and am at a loss as to what to do. I am pretty sure it occured in the pool while doing some underwater kicking with my fins. My PCP has ruled out testulicar cancer, infection, hernia or hydrocele (I have a very small one and not painful). I have seen a Urologist and my PCP again within the past two weeks and both agree that it is a strained muscle (my PCP believes the hip flexor). They said I should "take it easy" but swimming (pulling only) should be fine. Also, as I live in a multi-story house, they said I should go up the steps one stair at a time. I am supposed to do this for a month. Well, as impatient as I am, it has been a week of this and I haven't seen any improvement. In fact, if my intensity is more than 50% in the pool, the aching begins. In fact, even driving my car (automatic) for any length of time or walking for more than 20 minutes cause the ache to return. I was doing some research and found the Iliopsoas muscle as one that sounds like it could be the culprit. Apparently, problems with this muscle are usually related to runners. My PCP won't refer me to PT for another week as he wanted to give it two weeks of pulling only and rest to see if any improvement occured. I am on Naproxyn and have been for the past month. I am planning to stay out of the pool for the next week until I can see my PCP again and, hopefully, get referred to PT or some other remedy. Do I need to just give it more time? Any advice would be msot appreciated. Thanks Randy
