Question 3

which size dumbbells should i get for building hip muscles?

Question 4

what should i do with painful strained leg and hip muscles?

Accepted Answer

RICE: You should start with rice as a home treatment. After 48-72 hours you may switch to heat (instead of ice). As your pain starts to subside you may add stretching as tolerated, and massage. Once pain is gone, then gently return to activity as your strength and flexibility may need time to recovery after the injury, and you don't want to further injure yourself by attempting to go "all out" to fast.

Question 5

if i had scfe t age 14 and it wasnt corrected until i was 24 with hip resurfacing and greater trochanter osteotomy, how long for my hip muscles toheal?

Accepted Answer

The cause of your --: Pain might be the muscle slow to heal, or the wires/cables used to fix osteotomy or from the resurfaced femoral head. So one needs to identify the cause first responsible for your symptoms.
Other causes could be pain radiating from the back, or from local nerves irritated by scar tissue from your hip or the osteotomy surgery.
Discuss with your surgeon to establish the DX  or get a 2nd opinion.
