10 Symptoms of Hip Flexor Strain

9. Tender To Touch

Another common symptom of a hip flexor strain is being tender to the touch. The muscles of the hip flexor, when injured, are likely to become tender. You can notice this when massaging the area lightly. Besides tenderness of the skin, other similar symptoms may appear on a superficial level, indicating potential injury. These include a redness of the skin as well as bruising. You may also notice the skin becoming hot when touched. If you have weak muscles, don't warm up, have stiff muscles, or have recently suffered a trauma or fall, you have a higher risk of developing hip flexor strain.
