Subject: hip flexor tendonitis

OK, I'm coming off an injury (hip flexor tendonitis) and I'm curious if anyone else here has experienced it.  I'm not 100% yet, even though I can run and bike.  I have been meeting with my doctor regularly and it's gotten a LOT better, but like I said, I'm not 100%.  I took a couple weeks off to heal up, and came back very slowly.  Since it's still lingering, I'm wondering if I need to scrap my training for a longer period of time (a month?) and see what happens.  I'm tired of the injury and if taking a month off is what it takes, fine.  Anyway, if you've had something similar, how long was your recovery time?  Thanks!

What are your symptoms? Can you describe them? Where did it hurt?

Symptoms: in my left leg, above the quads, on the front of my leg, a sharp pain that traces the tendon that connects the quads to the hip.  I believe that it's the hip flexor tendon.  It only hurts when i run, or kick a LOT when I swim.  Biking hasn't caused any pain (yet).  It's been getting better, but it's still there.

For a lot of people, tendonitis can be a chronic problem. You may have to be mindful of that tendon for the rest of your life (or at least the rest of your athletic life). It's not fun (I have achilles tendonitis that won't completely go away), but if I'm careful, it doesn't bother me too much

yep. I have the same problem right now. Front of left thigh - high up, almost on my pelvis/pointer. Started after doing speedwork/intervals on the treadmill. Really bothers me when I walk - this has been for the last two weeks. Doesn't bother me at all while biking or swimming. I'm hoping that two weeks without any running will help me with my sprint this Sunday (7/15). Haven't run since my 5k run in my sprint on July 1st.
