Can anyone help out with this?

Thanks for all the help. It's great to get this feedback. I've got a few connections in various medical fields (including a chriopacter) that i'll tap to see if they can help if the pain returns after a little rest and a slightly adjusted approach.

Well I'm just curious.
Have you ever injured that are before.
(Including your leg, lower abdomen?)

If you had a previous muscular or skeletal injury it could have caused your balance to alter, placing additional strain on that hip, perhaps damaging the cartilage at the joint of leg and hip.

Strenuous sports could also result in this. If you've ran distance before or competed in soccer, football etc, it's easy to injure these areas or simply wear them down.

Also excessive weight can cause cartilage to wear down.
aT 245 and 5'9" I assume your reither very muscualr or somewhat ovwerweight. This could result in extra wear on cartilage or the loss of synovial fluid.

Perhaps you could take some fish oils

I've never injured this area before and the only strenuous activity it's bore was years ago while i was training in a northern shaolin style of kung fu... Lot's of kicking. I'm definitely a bit over-weight, but i've got broad shoulders and a thick trunk/legs. So while i don't think i come across as fat, or restrictively heavy, i def am invested in shedding about 20 - 30 more lbs. So far i've already lost 10 with a new workout/nutrition program and as the weight ticks off, i'm curious to see how much that is effecting me with this hip issue too. I actually just got some ink work done on my arm and won't be able to shadow box or work on the heavy bag for a few days, so i'll take advantage of the opportunity and rest my hips during that time. Later in the week, when i can get back to the bag, i'll try to be more conscious of my weight transfer during combos and see what i can see. Thanks for all the attention... Means a lot to me; i hate it when there is a hangup in my training. Peace ~

Hey all, after taking a few days off to let my ink work heal, combined with a trip to new orleans (amazing city) i feel that i gave my hip a nice rest. Training again, i've focused my energies on maintaining good form and simply am trying to avoid thinking too much about that creaky hip. It seems to be going well so far. I wanted to thank you for your responses; in part, hearing that nobody else was familiar or similarly struggling with this issue was an indication to me that i may have just overblown it. So, we'll see how it goes, so far so good... I'll be reading posts as usual and chiming in here and there

when i've got something to ask or to say. I have to say, i was apprehensive to reach out, but i felt that the responses were kind, helpful, and timely. Good looking, peoples. Best to you all~ i hope you all enjoy strong and progressive training.
