About a year ago I decided cycling would be a good way to improve my fitness so I got a mountain bike and started riding it everywhere. The problem is I think one day I might have overdone it and damaged something.
I was riding up hill into a headwind and I was going to stop and walk but then decided to push through the pain barrier and make it to the top of the hill. A few days later I noticed a clicking sensation in in my hips. I can feel some ligaments moving over the hip bone. There is also a stiffness and a swollen feeling in my upper thigh. There was initially no pain at all but the clicking sensation when I walk has not gone away and it has been over a year. Now in addition to clicking there is slight pain in the ball and socket joint of my right hip.
I haven't gone to the Dr because I know they would just send me off for an X-ray, prescribe anti-inflammatory pills and then do sweet fuck all. Have I permanently damaged or inflamed a tendon? Has anybody else had something like this? Anybody have any recommendations?
