Front hip pain after squats

[novice4ever]

It hurts right below my right iliac crest after I squat (relatively) heavy. Somewhere close to the red area shown in this image: http://hipdysplasia.org/wp-content/u...chanter-v2.jpg

If you wanna see my from I have some videos on youtube: Elliot Hulse's Breath - YouTube

So it hurts after squats when I raise my right leg. Walking and going up the stairs become a little uncomfortable but nothing too painful. It usually lasts until the end of the day and the next day it is almost back to normal. I feel like squatting heavy might be causing inflammation in that area for some reason or it might be hip impingement. I'm not sure.

I decided go get some medical help but I'm not sure whom to go to. My options are:

• doctor
• physio
• athletic therapy
• nautral therapy (don't know what this means)
• osteopathy approach
• manual therapist (not sure what this means either)

Have you guys experienced something like this before? Which of these options do you recommend I go for? I already booked a physio appointment but I can cancel it before weekend if you guys show me a different way before Friday.

Cheers!

Knee slide. You haz it.

Yep.

Also, check your stance width. I know that when I creep too wide, I feel it pinch right away during reps. Looks like your heels out wider than your shoulders.

On an unrelated note, get your grip right with god. Your shoulder flexibility is honorable, but it's doing nothing for you carrying the bar with your forearms.

And also ice the shit out of it and take your NSAIDs

But arent those only useful for symptomatic therapy and don't really solve the problem?

So the remedy is just pushing the knees out?

I am trying to push the knees out but my right knee caves at heavy weights.

Do I need to go to physio or no?

No, you need to fix your knee slide. TUBOW. Get your knees in position early and keep them there, don't let them slide forward. What you're describing sounds like the "interesting tendinitis" discussed in the book.

Whether you go to a physio is your decision. If it were me, I would take a short course of NSAIDs and squat with better form. This is what I did to fix the problem when I had it.

OK, will try the TUBOW. However, they don't have TUBOWs at my gym so I'm going with TUFR (terribly useful foam roller). I hope that works too.

Well of course you need the fix the fucking problem! TUBOW.

But in the interim, ice the shit out of it and take your NSAIDS
