22 y/o male. Strength training predominantly over the last couple of yeas. Did 5x5 strong lifts, 5\3\1 and SSLP most recently and will be starting the bridge shortly . I have a history of multiple hip surgeries to correct chronic pain and tightness in both hips since I was about 12.
Had bilateral athroscopic surgery to repair labral tears in my hips in 2013. Then diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingment and had a femoroacetabular osteotomy of the right hip done in 2015.
Pain is greatly improved since FAO surgery and have been able to train since then where before surgery I was unable. However I have constant muscle tightness especially in anterior hip and medial thigh. Without daily stretching I have severe pain in hips and upper thigh which can keep me from training. I have seen an improvement in this as I have gotten stronger but it still has a negative impact on my training and daily quality of life. Tightness and pain is exacerbated by running, sitting for long periods of time, and sometime squating and deadlifting. Often I’ll wake up with more pain and tightness than when I went to bed .
What is there I can do to reduce muscle tightness post training and\or how can I better treat the pain and muscle tightness so it doesn’t affect training or daily life?
