I’ve had random hip pain from training over the past few years, but it has always subsided after a couple weeks and never impacted my training much or quality of life.
Over the past month, after adding squats and deadlifts back into my program, I developed chronic left hip pain. I did not, and still do not, feel any acute pain during my lifts. But following my lifts, I will have chronic pain in my hip when standing or walking. If I try to run, the hip pain is much more painful and noticeable. About three weeks ago the pain would only last a couple days post training. However now, it is constant between lower body sessions week to week.
I’ve tried lowering my volume a bit, in addition to supplementing some single legged exercises into my program. However, the condition seems to be continually getting worse and like I stated the pain is pretty much constant throughout the day when standing/walking. I’m now contemplating if it would be necessary to pull back on squats and deadlifts significantly, focus on single legged movements, and maybe just add them in at the end with light weight.
Anyway, any advice would be appreciated, as I’m fearful this is going to continue to get worse and significantly impact my training if I can’t figure out a solution.
Thank you!
