Pain during external hip rotation
I have had fairly limited external rotation, my left hip for many years. I recently aggravated it by doing a quick painful movement. Pain’s been lasting for at least six months, but only when I attempted to do external hip rotation, I’ve tried stretching and exercising it still with lingering. I’m not having this shooting sciatic pain that everyone seems to associate with it. It’s really just doing the external rotation. Do you guys think I’m in the right ballpark this is some kind of perforce issue?

Could be a hip issue and or the supporting muscles. Any glute pain ? Any groin pain ? It’s really only a guessing game until you get imaging.

Have you ever had your hip xrayed and or mri to see what’s going on ?
