Sprained Hip Flexor after doing Sprints

[chrismeyer]

Somebody please HELP!!! I sprainded my hip flexor after doing sprints. I could hardly walk after I did it. A couple of days later it was starting to feel a little better, so I did a spin workout and then ab work. After the ab work it was REALLY hurting (I've been continuing to stretch ever since it happened) how long before I can go back to running and is there any other cardio workouts I can do that will not agrivate it? PLEASE HELP!!!!

I don't have any suggestions because every cardio workout I can think of involves legs which would obviously incorporate hip flexors. I really just wanted to say *OUCH!!!* It sounds painful! Hope you heal quickly!

I did something to my hip here a while back, not sure if it was a sprang but I did take it easy for several weeks along with ibuprofen. Lots of stretching. Take it easy & good luck

If it doesn't improve within a few days - go to your doctor! Hope your back up and running really soon!
