Question for the peanut gallery: I have an odd tweak in my right hip. It feels like a pulled muscle most of the time, but sometimes it feels almost like impingement where the femur meets the pelvis. Tends to hurt more in the morning when I wake up and after I've been sitting/laying down for a while. In general I don't feel it that much when I squat, but it has been flaring up after a deadlift. Also, it hurt a smidge when I was trying to spread my legs out on the bench press today. I haven't noticed a loss in daily activity ROM, but when I've tried stretching (the one where you sit "indian style" with the feet touching each other, and you let your legs spread out) I notice a small loss of ROM.

Any ideas?

Brodie, I owed you a follow-up from the PM a while back. Thanks for the concern and the kind words. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

P.s. great progress, counselor.
