Trying to take it easy today. Pretty successful except for a couple of minor lapses. Most important among them, carrying the dogfood bag from the garage to the house. Seemed minor at the time, but i was suddenly sore minutes later. Ice corrected that, but whe nI got up again later had a relapse.

Some improvement on hip. Have to be careful not to have my wallet in my hip pocket or i get unexpected pain - too much pressure?

started with weights, but hip didn't like it.
Pain is migrating to side and even back of the hip - i presume other muscles now complaining for taking up the slack. Generally getting better now, but still get pain after minor walking. Tried to stay even more quiet and sednetary today.

Since recovery is not progressing that fast, finally went to the doc. Confirmed diagnosis as hip flexor pull (or perhaps ligament). Treatment so far has been correct. Expect 2+ weeks for recovery. Until then, take it easy, don't do it if it hurts, ice and/or heat as needed, new antiinflammatory and a muscle relaxant.
I may start doing arm weights just to avoid going crazy
