Hi Cathe ! I hope you can help me as I have become extremely frustrated and don't know what to do.
I am having a lot of problems with my left hip flexor. I get up and exercise first thing in the morning - this causes me no problem (thankfully!).
However, I cannot take a simple walk without burning pain. In the afternoons I often walk to the bank and while it is only a 6 block round-trip, it causes me severe pain. First I get an ache in my hip flexor, then it becomes a burning sensation, and by the end of my short walk, it is not only hurting but causing me to limp and drag my left foot.
I add on about 5 minutes of extra leg stretches every day (5 days/week) and when time permits, I do a stretch from your new stretch tape (Total Body Stretch). I do hip flexor stretches, hamstring stretches (because they're always sore), quad stretches.
I just don't know what else to do - but it's frustrating to not be able to take a simple walk. Any help you - or any of the knowledgable ladies here - can give me, would be greatly appreciated!
