I am not sure, maybe your hip flexor muscles need a good stretching with the more workouts?

hip pain
To disable ads, please log-in.
Ive been riding a year, with no previous hip probs. Im 40 and take lots of antioxidants etc. I stand all day on concrete.
I have stepped up workouts to every other day,or every day at least 20 min and 28 km rides on weekends( not long as I am recovering from chronic viral illness, so thats far for me!)
I noticed that my hip, seem to click out of place and cause pain walking until I can 'pop' it into place by shaking it or having someone pull my leg gently.
Any idea whats causing it? Its not serious but annoying.

That was exactly my problem.
Your hip flexors are so tight they aren't gliding , they're catching until they pop into place.
When you sit and move your thigh side to side do you hear a clicking?
It could get to a point (and may already be there) where all the self-stretching in the world won't help. You probably need some PT.2008 Trek FX 7.2/Terry Cite X

Zen,
yes it does click and hey, I realized( bad me!spankys) that I forgot to stretch after EVERY ride I did this month.
I will start again.Conquering illness, one step at time.

I had some hip issues when I used to run, then last fall I had an inside hip issue - almost like appendicitis (ruled out) pain that was terrible. I posted here, got some good advice, went to my doc, had an ultrasound, and doc said it was probably my hip flexor. I went to a health day where there was a chiropractor and he went "snap snap snap" and gave me a diagram with some stretches.
No more pain.I can do five more miles.

I had the same thing and it got so painful that I could not sit down and walking was very painful. I went to a chiropractor and that really helped. I went to him for over a year because it was so bad. I started out at 3 times per week and ended up going once a month. When I moved, I stopped going.
I also started Pilates at that time on the recommendation of my chiropractor. That helps immensely with stretching and strengthening my core so that I can support my skeleton better.
