Interesting realizations at the gym today. I went in to do an upper-body routine, and just for kicks, I decided to test my ROM and flexibility on various unweighted (and assisted) movements, letting pain dictate the range. The only movements that produce anything beyond minor discomfort were:
--initial hip flexion as if starting the eccentric phase of a deadlift (this pain is absent during lower half of eccentric and full concentric phases)
--medial hip rotation (rotating knees together, notable pain here)
Close-stance bodyweight squats were fine if done slowly. Single-leg lunges were the same, if maybe done with more assistance that necessary just in case. I didn't attempt any abduction or adduction movements. Honestly, it feels more like stretching a sore/tight muscle than any kind of lingering injury. Of course, all this was done while my body was warm, and I'm not going to push anything, and I'm still seeing my doctor on Monday. However, once there's a prognosis and timetable set, I'll be dealing with
this. Go team
