Why Does My Hip Hurt While Skating?
Hi, I m a figure skater and I was doing a double toe loop and landed really hard on my left hip, I was able to get up and skate a lap or 2, but it hurt a lot and I got off. Now it s been a day and my hip hurts in the lower area going down to my thigh. It feels tender/tight, and it hurts to walk around, especially up the stairs. There is no visible bruising. At fir to thought it was a hip pointer but it hurts in the wrong area. HELP I need to figure out what s wrong so I can get back to the ice rink to train.

hi
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough clinical examination is advised.
As you landed on your left hip I suspect it to be strained muscles in the groin area and you need to take rest for time being as it's better to be late than never.
Since the muscle is injured the surrounding muscles are acting as a protective mechanism and no allowumg freedom of movement in the joint. A natural process of healing will take anywhere between 5-7 days and you should allow that to happen without aggravating it further.
In my clinical practice for pain and inflammation therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy for pain helps when patient underwent physical therapy.
