Pain in the gluteus/hip area
Not sure what I did to injure this area. I’m male age 46. I have been hiking in the mountains every weekend for 5 or 6 months without a problem and then I started feeling a soreness deep within the gluteus/hip joint area on my left side, especially after sitting at work or riding in the car for more than 30 minutes or so. I stopped hiking about 4 weeks ago but it actually feels like it’s getting worse instead of better. Walking or standing doesn’t create pain. but pressing my straightened leg into the floor while lying on my back is painful.
