Your heart is hard at work pumping blood and nutrients throughout your body. You can sometimes hear it or even feel it as it pumps at a steady pace. The heart keeps an even, reliable rhythm that's controlled by your bodyâs own electrical system. When that system has issues, the rhythm changes. This is known as arrhythmia, which is a problem with the heart's rhythm.
What is a hip flexor strain? A hip flexor strain is an injury characterized by tearing of one or more of the hip flexor muscles and typically causes pain in the front of the hip or groin. The group of muscles at the front of the hip are called the hip flexors. The most commonly involved muscle in a hip flexor strain is the iliopsoas (figure 1). The iliopsoas muscle originates from the lower back and pelvis and inserts into the thigh bone (femur).
Answers. The length of recovery depends on many factors such as your age, health, and if you have had a previous hip flexor injury. Recovery time also depends on the severity of the injury. A mild hip flexor strain may recover within a few weeks, whereas a severe injury may take 6 weeks or longer to recover.
