Just thought I’d share a bit of positive experience on here whilst my body is temporarily fixing faster than breaking.
I did a lot of cycling earlier in the year and then a 100 miler - road bike not TT - which is long for me. Developed a deep ache in my hip that wouldn’t shift. Only vaguely sore whilst cycling and not at all running but really niggly doing random things, particularly turning over in bed. After ignoring for a bit and then wondering if this was the start of the long decline to a new hip, I applied myself a bit to the problem and a combination of daily stretches and strengthening seems to have done the trick.
Stretches were:
and something along these lines
(That’s not me, though
)
And exercises were 4 and 12 off here 14 Hip Exercises: For Strengthening and Increasing Mobility
Plus a bit of other stretching and some scooting exercises but I don’t think they were significant. Has only, really, taken a fortnight of this after a month or two of hoping it would fix itself. Thought I’d share in case it’s useful for someone. The other issue I had like this was shoulder discomfort back when I was rock climbing a lot and that also was fixed mainly by strengthening smaller muscles around the joint with exercises in a different direction to the main sport usage.
